Being trapped in space with tony wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to someone except when your running out of food, and water, and happen to be dating the guy who killed his parents...ok maybe it is the worst thing to happen.
This had all started almost a month ago when they were on a mission that meant going off of earth. To find the leader of the aliens that invaded new york. Who gave loki his army. It went as well as you'd expect leading to dead end after dead end. eventually you and tony decided it was time to return back to earth it was smooth sailing until something happened and the ship completely shut down and simply became a vessel floating. Tony tried to figure out what was wrong but seeing no damage and his suit running out of power left him having to go back to the ship and figure out what to do.
Suspecting that they couldn't be out there for more than 2 weeks they rationed the food and water between the two of them for that time. Slowly as time went on they realized they'd be there longer than expected. Slowly supplies ran out and tony was running out of solutions. y/n’s powers started to fall from her control as she got weaker. This made it hard for tony and y/n to be around one another.
Her powers are to control and manipulate thoughts and feelings. she could also make people see her thoughts. similar to wanda's except she couldn't create thought simply spread things she already knew.. Shes has them sense she was 5 and the older she got the more out of control they got. at 17 fury came to her and took her in. y/n and natasha got very close due to being there at such a young age. When wanda came they became close from similar powers. They showed her how to control her powers and use them for good. This felt similar to how she felt then. out of control whatever thoughts or want she had happened at a simple touch. She felt weak and powerless while also being powerful. Tony was currently in his mini lab trying to figure out how he could fix the suit.
y/n sat in the control room on the floor feeling empty. They were currently having to skip eating some days. This was hurting y/n more than tony and as such she could barely move anymore. sitting on the floor she was trying to get up but failing from tiredness. Tony came out his lab to see her eyes closed and head back. The soft breathing was the only way he knew she was still alive. They both looked like a wreck but y/n looked on the edge of death. “hey” tony said softly sitting next to her. “you shouldn't be here” she replied wearly still keeping her eyes closed and head back. “You won't hurt me. I trust you” tony replys sleepily. “mmm thank you but I can't control it anymore” she says softly. “Then I won't touch you” he says.
y/n finally cracks open her eyes. “How are you feeling?” tony ask. How was she? she wasn't sure herself. She felt sick and tired and her vision kept spinning. She couldn't even peel herself from the floor. she simply shrugged. “here” he says handing her an almost empty bottle of water. 
she shook her head “that's yours” she says pushing it back towards him. “I'm not the one about to shake hands with the grim reaper.” tony says pushing back the bottle. she sighs and grabs the bottle. as soon as the liquid touches her dry lips and chugs the rest of the water. 
“Better?” tony ask with concern. she nods “much” she replies with a satisfied sigh. “Tony... do you think we’ll ever get back home?” she ask finally turning her head and looking at tony. He gulps and looks over at her. Her eyes look broken a look once filled with happiness and hope and what felt like the sun is now a glance of tiredness not just as in needing sleep but tired of all of this mess. The look of someone broken and hopeless.
“no” is all he can say. She would know if he lied so why even try. she sighed looking down. “me either.”she says turning to look out the large window. It's all dark outside only light being the stars. For a few days it was such a beautiful view but now it's just a reminder they are floating farther and farther from home.
they sat there just staring out into the emptiness. Tony looked over at her. Her eyes were closed again and her breathing had deepened showing she had fallen asleep. He stood up grabbing a package of food leaving it for her. it was his portion and hers. She needed it more than he did. which is exactly what he wrote on the note he stuck on the package. Even on the verge of death he thought she looked beautiful. The thought threw him off. he shook it off assuming it was the tiredness and being together for so long. she looked very uncomfortable. 
Sitting back down he took off his jacket and laid her down on his lap. He placed his jacket on top of her to keep her warm. He stroked her hair starting to fall asleep himself. his brain starts to get fuzzy with what feels like a dream but not his own. He tried to pull away but felt stuck. The dream was or y/n and tony still on the ship. They were in the lab. They seemed happier. y/n walked over to tony and they kissed. not like it was the first time but like it was just any normal thing. after that tony finally pulled away. It took him a while before figuring out that was y/n’s dream. She had accidently spread her thought into his mind. He felt bad he wasn't intended to see that and she didn't intend for him to. 
Tony was left confused. Why would that be her dream? Why wouldn't she dream of being back at home happy with bucky. feeling her move he shoved his thoughts aside. her eyes opened looking up at him she softly smiled “hey” she said. “hey” he replied he wasn't sure on what exactly to say. She sat up and realized tony's jacket was on her. “This is a nice jacket” she said voice still covered in sleep. 
Y/n handed tony back his jacket. she tilts her head and reaches for the package of food. She reads the note and smirks. “Tony today isn't our day for food” she said. “you need to eat today. now. eat.”  tony said with a stern face. she sighed and opened up the container of food and got to eating it. She started to eat fast before tony grabbed her hand. “slowly or your body will shut down.”  he said. she nodded and ate slower. 
once she was done her eyes started to get droopy again. “hey um y/n?” tony said. She turned to him with a face to show she was listening. “your thoughts accidently got pushed into my head while you were asleep...” he said trailing off. she started to feel her heart speed up. She remembered her dream so she knew what he saw. “uh...” was all that came out when she tried to speak.
Tony shook his head “no no i get it we've been together for over a month ok I just uhm ok” tony said in a panic. Never before had tony been at a loss of words. “tony...” she said softly. “We aren't getting home and you and I have gotten closer than ever and I just I don't know...” she said looking down at the floor. She sighed “I just want the world to stop. The pain to stop for the inevitable of this to not seem so fucked!” she screamed feeling all the pain and anger in her rise. All the hurt she felt over all this time. “I need it to stop!” she yelled over and over. Tony grabbed her face. y/n stopped speaking. “Do you want me to stop it?” he asked looking over her face. She wasn't sure. This situation seemed so stuck and to turn it off would be amazing. She wasn't going to back in bucky's arms....ever. To just be touched and held by someone before their inevitable doom would be amazing. So that was it. “yes” she said softly.
With that tonys lips were on hers. It was soft and smooth. His touches and strokes. His lips and mouth were so soft. Everything he did was as if he would break her. This wasn't rough and wild sex this wasn't tony being a playboy. This wasnt love though it wasn't someone making love. This was the pain of two people who saw no way out. Two friends saying goodbye. 
After they laid together. y/n on top of tony as he held her close to him. his hand rubbed up and down her back as she slowly fell asleep. “Thank you” she said softly before falling into a slumber. He smiled at her. He felt his heart do cartwheels at the sight of her asleep, comfortable, and close to him. He knew this feeling and it frustrated him. He shook his head. He took this as simply being the fact that they had been up there for so long and had just slept together. Falling into a slumber he felt the weight of the world fall off her chest.
The next few days were better but y/n felt her body shut down more and more each day. It was halfway through month 2 of being stuck together. Then the ship shook and the door opened. y/n was sat at the control panel trying to stay alive with all her strength. 
The door opened to the ship and 5 people walked in. The last people that tony and y/n ever expected. Steve, natasha, clint, bruce, and the one that caused the most shock. james buchanan barnes.

IV; BLUE BAYOU SERIES
Oh that boy of mine, by my side. The silver moon and the evening tide.
Tumblr media
Series Masterlist
Pairing: TFAWS!Sam Wilson x fem!Reader
Summary: Sam and y/n build furniture and decorate his home now that y/n has moved in.
Warnings: 18+ ONLY; oral (male receiving), face-fucking, Daddy kink, spanking, LOTS of dirty talk, basically plot at the beggining section and PORN at the end.
Word Count: 4553
Author’s Notes: This just proves that 1) Sam and Bucky are the bestest of friends, 2) Bucky has got someone on the brain, and 3) I am a whore for Daddy Sam.
Two weeks after their bedroom escapade y/n tugs nervously on the end of her cream-colored cardigan, biting her lip. She’s finally finished getting ready in Sam’s bedroom, having tried on multiple outfits for him to choose between before settling on the pale blue floral print fit and flare dress, cream cardigan, and white strappy wedges. Her curls lay tousled down her back, her face fresh with a light coating of mascara and her favorite coconut flavored Chapstick upon her lips.
Today was very important, well, at least SHE felt it was important. Sam and y/n were going out to lunch to meet Bucky, his best friend and work partner. She’d heard plenty of stories about the ‘white wolf’ as Sam teasingly referred to him, had been briefed on his vibranium arm and to not be worried if he looks like he’s constantly pissed off, it was just his RESTING face.
“You look beautiful.” Sam came up behind her as y/n put her gold hoops in her ears, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing the exposed skin at her collarbone. “If Bucky wasn’t such a stickler on meeting at noon, I’d strip you down…do those things with my tongue that drive you WILD…” A moan slips from y/n’s lips, turning around in his grip to wrap her arms around his neck.
“Well maybe if I don’t embarrass myself in front of Bucky, we can do all of that when we get back.” She plants a quick kiss to his lips, moving over to the bed to grab her crossbody brown purse.
“You’re not going to EMBARRASS yourself. Bucky is cool, and he’ll love you.” Well, he was cool NOW. Ever since their mission in New York and the cookout back in Louisiana that Sam invited Bucky to things had been MUCH better. Sam moved to the dresser to grab his wallet and his keys, stepping back over to grab y/n’s hand with his free one.
“I mean it, don’t worry. Besides, I didn’t even particularly LIKE Bucky until a few months ago, you’ve got no need to feel any pressure to impress him.” He plants one more kiss to her lips, tugging her towards the front door to get into his truck.
Tumblr media
When they arrived at their favorite diner Bucky was already inside, sitting down at their usual booth in the back corner. He had tossed aside his leather jacket next to him, his eyes scanning over the menu as if he didn’t already know what to order.
The door to the diner chimed as they walked through, Bucky turning around with a smile when he noticed Sam. “You’re a minute LATE.” He announced, holding up his phone to show him the time. Technology was sweet now that he had it at his fingertips. Sam rolled his eyes, walking forward and embracing Bucky in a hug, patting his back as he did so.
“A minute is NOTHING, but I guess I should know better than to keep an old man waiting.” The two laughed together, letting go of the embrace before Sam motions for y/n to move next to him. “Bucky, this is my girlfriend, y/n. Y/N this is Bucky.”
Y/N watches as Bucky sticks out his hand for her to shake, the non-vibranium hand that is. She takes it in her small one, giving it a good motion up and down. “It’s nice to meet you, Sam has told me so much about you.” She chirps, finally taking in his features. His eyes were a DAZZLING blue, his smile wide, and his brows thick. He wore a grey t-shirt that looked a little too tight, showing off his muscular frame through the thin fabric. His vibranium arm, the one that Sam mentioned, was completely exposed but seemed to fit in with the rest of his appearance.
“Likewise, sometimes I have to tell Sam to shut the HELL up so we can actually get some work done.” He teased, letting go of her hand.
Bucky motions for them to sit, sliding back into his side of the booth with Sam and y/n sliding in across from him. As soon as they did a PERKY blonde waitress walked over, flashing a bright smile at all of them before settling her gaze on Bucky. It was clear she thought he was attractive, keeping her eyes on him as she pulled out her pad of paper.
“Hello, my name is MARISSA.” She gushed, tilting forward ever so slightly to expose her chest to Bucky. He paid no attention though, his eyes typing away at his phone.
“Black coffee, short stack of pancakes, side of bacon please.” He slid his menu towards her direction and she quickly jotted it down, a blush appearing on her cheeks. Bucky kept his eyes still on his phone.
“R-right, okay and uh, and what can I get ya’ll?” She finally looks at them and y/n can see a twinge of embarrassment on her face for having been ignored by the chiseled man. 
“I’ll have the breakfast burrito with an extra side of sausage and a coffee with vanilla creamer please.” Sam responds, plopping his menu on top of Bucky’s. Y/N scans the menu once more, turning her attention to the waitress. “I’ll have the Belgian waffle with strawberries please, and a glass of water.”
Marissa finishes jotting down their order, grabbing the menus and then looking once more at Bucky, a slight frown on her face, before walking away. Bucky finishes up whatever he was doing on his phone, setting it upside down on the table and moving his attention back to the pair in front of him.
“So, y/n, I heard you moved from Colorado. How are you liking it here during the summer heat?” Y/n tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear, placing her hands in her lap. “It’s been great so far, it’s an interesting little town. PLUS, I have this guy by my side.” She playfully nudges Sam, eliciting a laugh from his lips.
He moves his hand to hers, gripping it under the table. “Sam says you two have a lot of fun together on your missions, do you have a uniform like him?” Bucky laughs, making his nose scrunch up on his face. “No, that’s BIRD-BRAIN’S thing.” He teases. “I’m what they call a super soldier, that makes me SO much cooler than Sam.” Another joke. Y/N seems to think this is a good sign. “But yeah, we do have a lot of fun on our missions. Some are harder than others of course, but we haven’t died so far.”
Marissa comes back with the men’s coffee and y/n’s water, eyes flickering towards Bucky again. He finally acknowledges her presence, eyes finding her nametag against her shirt. “Thank you, Marissa.” He affirmed. She walked away, giddy that Bucky said her name, as both men take a sip from their mugs.
“Well, whatever you do I’m sure it’s very important. Sam sounds lucky to have you.” She quipped. They seemed like a natural pair, their personalities seemed to mesh, ESPECIALLY their sarcasm. 
“Y/N is pretty impressive too; she’s got her PhD in sociology and teaches at Northwood.” Sam adds, a proud smile on his face. Being with her made him look BETTER and FEEL better, and he loved being able to show her and all her accomplishments off. A deep blush creeps over her cheeks at his words, squeezing his hand under the table. 
“Well that IS impressive, congratulations. Sociology seems like an interesting topic to teach. Are you a harsh professor?” Bucky questioned, raising a thick eyebrow in her direction. Y/N shakes her head, she DEFINITELY wasn’t a stickler like some of her colleagues.
“No, not harsh at all. I believe it’s important to get students PASSIONATE about what they learn in order bring awareness and CHANGE. I teach three different courses: Social Inequality, Racism and Inequality, and Toolkit for Activism and Advocacy. We have our required midterm and final, but most of the time is filled with lectures, documentaries, and discussions on the topics we cover.” Her eyes light up with passion as she talks, and it makes Sam’s heart flutter. Even Bucky seems to be enthralled listening to her.
“Well, if I were a student, I’d take one of your classes for SURE.” Their conversation is interrupted briefly by Marissa dropping off their plates, trying to get Bucky to notice her again but with no success. They start to chow down on their food, the sounds of forks and knives moving, and mugs being picked up and put down being the only sounds at their table. Eventually as their stomachs start to fill the silence ends, talking about some of Sam and Bucky’s favorite missions, what y/n’s favorite books were, and even their shared connection to the armed forces.
They finally finish devouring their brunch and Bucky sits back against his booth, arms spreading out over the back of it. Marissa finally drops off their checks, trying ONE last time to get Bucky’s attention but he’s distracted in conversation with Sam about their next meeting with Torres. Sam INSISTS on paying for y/n’s meal along with his own, and y/n decides not to protest this time. She’d get the next one.
Bucky pulls a wad of bills from his wallet, setting down enough to pay for the food and a tip before he stands up, pulling his leather jacket on over his tight grey shirt. They all thank Marissa on their way passed her to move out the door, the familiar chime going off as they step outside into the bright sunshine. Sam turns to face Bucky once more to give him a final hug.
“I’ll see you next week, noon on the DOT.” Bucky mumbles, and Sam can’t help but laugh, stepping back so that y/n can say her goodbye to him as well. Before y/n can decide whether it would be awkward to shake hands again or just nod in his direction, Bucky pulls her into his side for a hug, using his vibranium arm.
“It was great to meet you, y/n. I hope that Sam doesn’t keep you to himself forever, I’d love for us all to go out to a bar or something next time.” Bucky lets go of her side and y/n takes a step back, grabbing Sam’s hand in hers. “It was GREAT to meet you too. And sounds good, first rounds on me when we do.” She agreed.
Bucky turns with a quick wave of his hand, the couple turning in the opposite direction to head to Sam’s truck. The walk is short, and Sam moves instinctively to open y/n’s door before hopping in the driver’s side and starting it up.
“Well that wasn’t so bad was it?” He asked, his hand settling to grip her thigh as he drove. 
“No, not at all. He seems like an awesome guy. I’m sure it’s nice to work with someone you’re close with.” Her eyes turn to look up at him, head resting back on her seat. God, she’s so smitten with him and it’s only been two weeks. He checked every box, even checking boxes she didn’t even know NEEDED to be checked.
He squeezes her thigh, teasing her slightly. He cannot WAIT to get home and tear off that short little dress of hers. “Yeah it is nice, although, did you notice how HARD that waitress was trying to get his attention? I mean, usually Bucky is all sorts of flirty but today there was nothing.”
They both laughed, y/n moving her hand to turn the volume up on Sam’s Marvin Gaye CD. She had taken quite a liking to his taste in music since they started seeing each other.
“It was SUPER obvious. I wonder why he didn’t flirt back.”
Tumblr media
The past two weeks were a blur, Sam having gone on another mission and y/n finishing up with midterms for her summer classes. In their spare time, y/n INSISTED that Sam needed to make his place more of a HOME. 
When Sam decided to move back to Louisiana, he had managed to buy a small two-bedroom, two-bathroom house a few miles down the road from Sarah’s place. After years in the service and moving back to civilian life, Sam still struggled with really making his place feel like home. Now that y/n was spending the night more often, enjoying the quiet that his house brought over the loud family that lived above her apartment, they felt it was time to UPGRADE.
Last week had been spent picking between paint swatches and painting the different rooms in Sam’s house, stopping frequently for some HOT sex on the hardwood floor. Sam had his bedroom furniture but was still missing living room furniture, kitchen furniture, and décor to tie it all together. At least, that’s how y/n put it.
They had just finished up their shopping adventure at IKEA, Home Goods, and Target, truck bed loaded with STUFF. Probably more stuff than they needed but y/n would make sure to return what they didn’t want.
“You know I’ll have to put together that kitchen table, chairs, AND the coffee table when we get back right? And the couch from Home Goods won’t even be delivered until Sunday.” Y/N smiles, rolling down the window and sticking her hand out, feeling the hot sun and the cool breeze on her skin.
“That’s fine, you can put that all together while I decorate everything.” She was excited, Sam was totally fine with letting her have control of the colors and patterns, really EVERYTHING.
Within a few minutes they had pulled up to the front of the house, Sam opening the bed of the truck so he can start grabbing the items. Y/N grabs a few of the bags, Sam shaking his head at her. “I told you, you don’t need to carry anything in, I got this.” Her brows furrow, setting the bags in her hands down in the empty space of the living room and following Sam back out the door for another load. “I’m COMPLETELY capable of carrying some of these. Besides, I have to catch up to YOUR physicality still.”
Sam laughs, tugging her against his waist and kissing her passionately. “You don’t need to catch up, your body is already HEAVENLY as it is.” He should have used the word SINFUL instead, the things she did to him. He shakes his head to get the thought out of his mind, grabbing the box with the parts to the table and carrying it over his shoulder.
Once they finished unloading the truck Sam got to work putting together the coffee table while y/n emptied the items from the bags, sorting them on the floor for the areas they would go in. She took the different canvas pictures they had picked, holding them against the wall of the living room to decide where she wanted to hang them. Once deciding on the perfect spots, y/n grabbed the step stool, nails, and hammer and got to work. The canvas pictures they chose for the living room were an ombre style of blues that would pop well against the cream-colored wall.
After they were hung, she stood back, closing one eye and then the next to check on their levels. “What do you think?” She asked, turning to Sam for approval. He had made quick work of the coffee table, screwing in the last few spots and jiggling it to check its sturdiness. “The table’s done.” Sam stood up and eyed the paintings, nodding his head. “Those look PERFECT there. I’m going to move on to the kitchen table and chairs while you work in here.” He placed a quick kiss to her cheek before moving into the space of the kitchen, opening the box and laying out all his parts.
With the coffee table done, y/n moved all the items purchased to the far side of the room, giving her plenty of space to roll out the new navy colored rug for the area. She made sure it was flattened properly before dragging over the coffee table, carefully setting it on top. Once she’s finished, she fans the coasters they had purchased on the table before moving to look through the other décor pieces they’d chosen.
Y/N was having so much fun letting her creativity out. It wasn’t long before she was moving all over the rooms, placing a framed picture of his nephews here and another framed picture of him and y/n there. It was all coming together, throw pillows added to the bed with a few others set aside for when the couch would arrive, more picture frames with photos Sam had chosen of family and friends scattered throughout the house. New rugs, shower curtains, and towels in both bathrooms.
While Sam finished up the last chair for the dining set y/n put together a floor lamp for the living room, moving the other side lamp to the bedroom before walking around each space and making sure everything was in its proper place. There were a few items she had chosen for the space that didn’t quite work once she finished including another colorful canvas, a fake potted plant, and some extra throw pillows that she didn’t end up liking for the bedroom. Those were put away in a bag by the door waiting to be returned.
“Babe, what do you think?” She turns her head in Sam’s direction, calling for him to look at what she’s done while he busy was putting the furniture together. Sam brushes off his hands, standing up and walking from room to room inspecting her work. He had to admit, the place looked MUCH better. The best touch was all the framed photos y/n had printed and scattered throughout the house. With the changes she had made it really DID feel like a home.
Sam moved last into the living room where y/n stood, taking in the rest of the décor. “I…” He cleared his throat, hand nervously scratching at the back of his neck. He hadn’t felt this before, this PERMANANCE. The house was the first step, the roots that were grounding him here, and now everything seemed right. Even his old place that he’d been in when Steve and Natasha first visited him hadn’t made him feel like this, feel this HAPPY to be in his space.
“I love it, I can’t thank you enough for all of this.” She can tell he’s holding back tears as he speaks and she shushes him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
“Hey, it’s OKAY. I’m just happy you like it. I know how hard it is to make a place feel like home.” Growing up after her dad passed NOTHING really felt like home. Colorado was the closest she came to that, but it still wasn’t the same feelings she had when she was little and her father was still alive.
Sam wrapped his arms around her waist, bending his head down to nuzzle against her neck. “Of course I like it, I love everything you do. I love…” He trails off, moving his head back up to meet her gaze.
“Baby I…I LOVE you. And I don’t want to be afraid to say it. I want you to know that and I want you to know that this is your space too.” Y/N’s cheeks hurt from how big she was smiling at his words. “I love you TOO. So much Sam.”
He clears his throat, a hand coming up to rest on her cheek. “Which is why I was hoping that maybe you would be interested in getting out of your lease a bit early to…move in with me?” He doesn’t know what the point would be of setting up the house to be a HOME without her in it. He wanted it to be their home, together.
“I-Of course I want to move in. I mean, yes, I will.” She laughs, pulling him in for a kiss. His hands move under her ass, scooping her up in his arms. He was so HAPPY, their lips dancing along each other’s as they continued to kiss, his teeth jutting out to bite down on her bottom lip, eliciting a moan from her.
“How about we make sure that kitchen table is STURDY?” He asks, moving his lips to pepper kisses down her neck. He walks towards the table, y/n still in his arms, setting her ass down on the top he had just built. The table stays still under here weight, her fingers moving down to the hem of his shirt to pull it off. She trails her nails down his chest, marking the skin gently and watching as the marks faded.
“Baby, you always do so much for me, want to make you feel GOOD.” She scoots back against the table, looking at him with lustful eyes. “Strip for me please.” Sam does as he’s told, tugging down his jeans and boxers and kicking them across the floor.
“You always make me feel good.” He responds, licking his lips. He watches her as she slips out of her tiny jean shorts and panties, tugging her coral tank top over her head. She slowly unhooks her bra, tossing it aside, leaving her naked on the table, THEIR table.
“I know, but I want to thank you for how well you treat me, want to show you how much I LOVE you.” It felt good to say it, as she had been wanting to since meeting Bucky two weeks ago. His eyes rake over her body as she moves her back flat against the table, her head moving to hang off the side towards. “Want you to use me, Daddy.” She purred, her voice dripping with desire saying the nickname he LOVED in bed. “Please come fuck my face Daddy.”
Sam groans, his cock twitching and erect against his chest. She was splayed out on the table, head back and ready for him to FUCK. He moves closer to her, stroking his cock until it was inches from her face. “Open your mouth baby.” She does as she’s told opening wide as she feels his cock sliding in inch by inch. Her head is throbbing a bit from hanging upside down, but she didn’t CARE. His sliding inward stops when he hears her gag around him, moving out so just the tip rested on her lips.
“Shh, baby, relax your throat, let Daddy all the way in.” Y/N takes a deep breath, opening her mouth wider for him to push inside, enveloping him with her lips. SLOWLY, continuing to breathe, she feels him bottom out at the back of her throat, a groan of approval leaving his mouth.
He picks up a slow rhythm at first, pulling back so just the tip is in her mouth before shoving his cock all the way in the back of her throat, watching how he looked all the way down her throat. “Fuck baby, that mouth is PHENOMENAL.” Sam picks up his pace again, his balls slapping on her nose as her saliva drips out of her mouth and onto the floor.
“Put your hands on your pussy baby, want you to play with yourself while I USE you.” She moans around his cock, her hand moving down to her core, rubbing her fingers against that perfect bundle of nerves. Sam watches her, slowing his motions slightly. “Fuck yourself on your fingers baby, want you to warm yourself up for Daddy’s cock.”
Her fingers move between her lips, pushing inside the wetness. She adjusts to them before pumping them in and out, continuing to lap at Sam’s cock that is now hanging above her mouth. Sam watches for a few moments, loving the way she’s splayed out for him on their new kitchen table.
“Fuck, you’re so fucking pretty, I can hear how wet you are while you’re fucking yourself.” He moves his cock straight down her throat one last time, causing her to cough before he pulls completely out and steps back. “Get up and turn AROUND, put your ass in the air on the edge of the table.”
Y/N rolls her body over, saliva dripping down her face and neck as she did. She turns around, backing up until her ass is high in the air, feet hanging just slightly over the edge. “Yes Daddy.”
Sam moves forward, gripping her ass in his hand before giving the tanned skin a spank, y/n letting out a small whine at the pain. “Look at that pussy, so wet. Do you want my COCK inside you baby?” He teases his cock against her folds, a shiver of pleasure running down her spine.
“Fuck, yes Daddy please, want you to fill me FULL of your cock.” Sam smirks, one hand resting on her back, the other guiding his cock inside of her until he bottoms out. A groan escapes his lips, pulling his cock out of her pussy before slamming back into her again.
He continues to fuck her, a slew of cuss words and thank you leaving her slips. Sam moves one hand up her back, fingers gripping a fistful of her hair and pulling her head back and her face up off the table. “Oh my god.” She cries out, eyes rolling back into her head. He’s pushing in and pulling out of her core, tugging her head back with each thrust.
“That’s it baby, you look so PRETTY on my cock, god I love you so much.” She whines again and he pulls her hair harder with another TUG. “Fucking you stupid huh? Are you becoming stupid on my cock, can’t even speak?” He pulls her head back, lips inches from her ear. “You’re Daddy’s dumb baby, aren’t you?” That familiar feeling inside her chest is building up, her breathing ragged. “Yes, Daddy, I’m your dumb baby, please let me cum. PLEASE.”
He lets go of her hair, letting her body fall back onto the table. “Yes, baby cum for me. Show Daddy HOW much you love him.” Within seconds her orgasm is ripping through her body, walls clenching tight onto his cock and she comes undone. “Yes, thank you Daddy!” He fucks her until her body calms down from her orgasm, pulling out and spanking her ass once more.
“Get down on your knees for me baby, want to cum inside that pretty MOUTH.” Y/N moves down off of the table, getting onto her knees in front of him and opening her mouth wide, sticking out her tongue. Sam moves right above her, stroking himself until he comes, coating her mouth and tongue with his stickiness. “Fuck, you can swallow baby.” She shuts her mouth, swallowing down the salty cum before he pulls on her chin, instructing her to get up.
When she does Sam immediately wraps his arms around her, pulling her into his chest. “You’re SO sexy. I love YOU.” He proclaims, fingers running through her hair. She curls into him, letting out a breathy laugh. “I love you too.” She looks back at the table then back up at him with a smile on her face.
“Guess the table’s sturdy enough.”

LINKS: part one, part two
Tumblr media
For days, you found yourself sluggishly walking to your classes, barely able to take your mind off of anything but Peter Parker, much to your discontent.
When they say that you can never stop thinking about people you care about, they weren’t kidding. Before, you scoffed every time Betty stressfully texted you about how everything reminded her of her ex, advising her to, “If he’s not thinking about you, don’t think of him.”
Now you understood. You wanted him to think of you, to look at the hoodie you made Ned give back to him, and have his heart hurt as much as you did. But looking at him longingly from across the classroom, watching as he laughed with Mj Watson— you doubted his heart hurt. He was happy; happier without you by his side.
“Hey. You wanna add the acid?” Your partner, Harry Osborn, nudged your shoulder gently as he spoke.
Blinking to get yourself out of your trance, you nodded solemnly as you took the dropper with the acid, dropping a few drops into the boiling beaker without so much as a sigh. You were glum, that much was obvious, but Harry couldn’t help but snort to himself at your sigh.
“Wow, I’m not that bad, you know.”
“What?” As if in a spell, you looked at him with confusion. It took a few seconds for his words to fully process in your head. “Oh. No, not you, Osborn.” You shook your head, placing your head in your hands as you tried to make yourself snap out of it. He didn’t have the right to be in your head so much.
“I thought we were on a first name basis!” Harry gasped, feigning shock as you hit him lightly on the shoulder with a roll of your eyes. Chuckling to himself, Harry stated, “I’m kidding, Y/N. I know that Parker’s the reason why you’re all down.” Harry, with his nonchalant tone and cheeky smile, made you scoff as you looked back at your lab book as if you were paying attention. You were, of course.
“The chemicals are burning, Harry.”
“What? Oh, shit.” Hastily, Harry grabbed the tongs, picking up the smoking beaker and setting it aside. Your chemistry teacher was eyeing you both as Harry offered an innocent smile that you couldn’t help but chuckle at. It was nice to laugh for once.
“Do you want him as a rebound?”
The sudden question caught you off guard, pulling your attention away from the chemistry notes that were sprawled out in front of you. To the right of you, a boy shushed you and Betty harshly.
A frown tugged at the sides of your lips as you tilting your head to the side. “Who as a rebound? I’m too tired for this,” you sighed.
“Yes, a rebound! Are you gonna have Harry Osborn as a rebound guy or not?” Betty questioned, excitement evident as she pulled the chair out from in front of you with a screech and sat down. She plopped her things to the side loudly, rolling her eyes as the same boy shushed her.
With one turn of her head, Betty shushed him back before focusing back towards the task at hand: you.
“What— No! Why would I? I mean, should I?” Your brows furrowed. Betty knew more about relationships than you ever could know— was having a rebound guy normal?
“Why not?” The smile she had on her face was ecstatic, enthusiastic, even. “Word in the halls say that he likes you a lot,” she explained, her grin growing as a gleam of mischief caught in her eye. Of course she’d know about his liking to you before you did; Betty was a sucker for gossip. You knew there was no saying no— when Betty had a plan, she was going to execute it in the best way possible.
“I still don’t know why Peter broke up with me, Bets,” you reminded, running a hand down your face as if you were wiping away all the thoughts in your head. “As much as I hate saying it out loud, I’m not over him. I don’t know if I ever will be.”
“Exactly why you should go out with Harry!” Clapping her hands uncharacteristically in excitement, Betty stood up, gathering her things quickly. “My dad should be here about now. But think about it, Y/N!” She waved you goodbye as she left you, alone and even more confused as before, staring at the notes you had made.
You wanted to ask Peter what the reason was for breaking up with you. But how could you do it if you haven’t spoken to him since the ball?
You stayed in the library until the moon hung high over the city and the city lights flashed into the library’s large windows. Your head was in your hands as you read the same paragraph again for what seemed to be the 84th time. You were tired, trying to keep yourself awake for just a little longer.
You left when the janitor yelled at you to.
Trudging down the illuminated streets, your face blank as you tried to remember all the terms you had written down, you barely even noticed the sound of thwips overhead. You were too out of it, too in your own head to even hear the soft sound of a bang and the tiny, “Ow,” that followed.
He had to say something snarky to get your attention.
“Too late for a walk, don’t you think?”
“Says the one who’s out here with me.” You glared towards the voice, your gaze softening when you saw the masked hero of New York— Spider-Man, standing on a light pole in all his red and blue glory. “Oh. You.” You turned away from him, not even acknowledging him for more than five seconds before acting as if he was just another annoying side character to your life.
“You’re nice,” the hero hummed, his tone playful as he swung to the next light pole ahead. His composure was calm and collective, but unknown to you, Peter Parker’s heart was beating too fast for his body as he followed you down the sidewalk. Of all the ways he could’ve tried to talk to you, this had to be the worst way to do it. “So,” he jumped onto the ground, landing perfectly on his feet alongside you, “am I going to have to ask why you’re walking outside at 3 am on a Wednesday?”
“School’s beating me with a bat. That’s all.”
“Oh.” Peter frowned from under the mask. Worry surged in his veins, much to his own guilt, and he found himself tapping you on the shoulder as he offered you his hand. “Do you, uh, want a ride?”
“A ride?” Your eyes widened, the deep purple bags that hung under them now gone as you looked at him with shock. Your lack of sleep was softening your reactions, making it as if you were speaking with a random boy rather than New York’s masked hero. “I mean—“
“It’s better and safer than walking alone on the street,” Peter added, the whites of his suit wide as he tried to persuade you. Whether it was the guilt in his stomach or his automatic concern for people’s safety, some part of him needed to know that you made it home safe. “Please; it’s the least I can do.”
You sucked your bottom lip into your mouth, your face uncertain but the aching in your body screaming otherwise. Hesitantly, you took his hand, holding it tightly as you moved closer to him. “Go ahead, Spidey.” The nickname was quick, a common one, but one that Peter found himself smiling at as he shot a web up into the sky.
His hands found its way around your waist, holding you flush against him as he brought the both of you up above the roads of New York. The yelp you let out was soon replaced by your laughter as you felt the wind whip your face, the addictive feeling of falling and being caught running through your body. You were more awake than you ever had been in months, your arms wrapped around Spider-Man’s neck as he laughed with you.
The world looked so pretty from the air.
It was over as soon as it began, his feet landing on your light-decorated balcony with a soft thump. He let you go gently, unwrapping his arms from you and allowing you to step back. Your hair was a mess, wild and tangled from the wind, but a grateful smile was etched on your face.
“Thank you— I needed that,” you murmured, shifting your things as you looked into the whites of the hero’s mask.
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s no problem,” Peter stammered, heart beating hard as he looked at you. You were beautiful. But as the thought came, so did new waves of guilt and anger towards himself come. Frowning from under the mask, he shook his head to himself as he jumped up to the balcony railing. Offering a playful salute, he swung away, ignoring the aching in his heart.
That night, as you laid in your bed thinking of the kind hero, a thought came into your mind that made your heart stop.
You never told him where you had lived.
Peter felt guilty.
He had nearly crashed into multiple buildings on his way home. His mind, much to his discontent, couldn’t think of anything else other than you. What he had done to you was nothing like him— but that didn’t change the fact that he still did it.
He was so screwed.
You didn’t encounter Peter Parker until you attended a New Years' party at the Osborn’s house.
Naturally, you were invited. Harry had made it his very duty to pull you out of the deep hole Peter had left you in, even if you had little to no interest in attending any party in the first place. But Harry, with his dimpled smiles and cheeky persuasive comments, had no problem convincing you to go. He had claimed that he could’ve taken you to the ball drop to see it in person, but he didn’t want to deal with all the other people there.
You picked at the rim of your cliche red solo cup, hesitant as you stood on the sidelines of the party. You had lost Harry ages ago— the boy was like a hummingbird, flying from one person to another with his hair wild and energy practically radiating off of him. You didn’t mind it; it was his party, after all. You didn’t know how he could be so energetic with no alcohol in his veins; he had told you that he didn’t plan on drinking throughout the entirety of the party, for he saw everyone at his party as his responsibility.
The loud thumping of the bass was all that filled your mind as you sipped the punch you had poured. It tasted strongly of vodka, poignant on your tongue as you swallowed it down with a slight wince. You weren’t used to drinking, but the want to have a good time was strong in your mind as you tilted your head back. You forced the alcohol down, wanting to have a good memory ( if you could even remember the next day ) after the days of stress and sadness.
The rest was a blur. Harry had found you ( or maybe you found him— you didn’t know ) and had led you to the dance floor, jumping along with you to the beat of the music. He had tied his tie around your head like a bandanna, yelling something about “making sure boys know you’d beat them up.” You were laughing, joking around and yelling lyrics with him as both of you danced like idiots. Harry’s hand was holding yours, making sure you weren’t going to drown into the crowd as the both of you danced. You had lost track of the time and the refills of punch you had, your world spinning and the lights hitting your face as if you had fallen straight out of Euphoria.
Giggling to yourself, you dragged Harry out of the crowd and brought him to the punch bowl ( again ). You reached for the ladle like a child, only for it to be taken away by Harry.
“You’re drinking like my Aunt Jackie on Thanksgiving,” he stated, keeping the ladle away from you, watching your pouting face with amusement.
“I’m not Aunt Jackie,” you replied blatantly, practically leaning against him and the table for support as you tried to make yourself sound serious. At your woozy tone, Harry chuckled and shook his head, curls bouncing every which way.
“I know, Y/N.”
You shoved yourself dramatically against the table, the dancing of the others in front of you catching your eye and making you stare. Thoughts, most of them unintelligible, bounced around in your head. You were frowning now, moods swinging as you tried to focus on one thing at a time.
“I miss him,” you announced.
“I know you do.” Harry stood next to you, his hands on the table behind him as he looked at you. Your chest was heaving from the dancing, your cheeks red as you stared blankly at the dancing bodies. “Hey,” he nudged you gently, catching your attention. “You’ll get over him. I know you will.” Despite his voice being soft, it still stood out from the chaos around the two of you.
One side of your mouth twitched upwards. “You think so?”
Harry’s terrible attention span reached him before your words could. “New Year’s! It’s almost here!” He took your hand, weaving you through the people as he led the both of you to the living room.
There, the projector showed the New York ball drop in real-time. Thirty seconds flashed on the timer as Anderson Cooper spoke about something that none of you were interested in in the slightest.
Harry pulled you onto the oak wood table in the middle of the living room, holding you close to him so that your wobbly legs wouldn’t bring you off the edge. You flashed him a grin, placing your hands around his neck messily as you both looked at the projector.
“Here it is! Three!” Harry yelled, cheering with everyone else as people began to pair up.
“Two!” Your eyes, wandering and heavy, landed on an image that made you want to throw up. In the corner, hidden and away from the rest of the world.
Peter and Mj.
“One!” Mj’s arms were thrown over his neck, bringing him closer to her. Peter, with an adoring smile, closed his eyes as he leaned his face closer to hers.
You tore your eyes away from them, focusing on Harry’s smiling face as he waited for the ball to drop. Before he could yell out a “Happy New Year,” you took his face, leaning it down to yours. Only then did you pause, before he gave you a reassuring smile that made you land your lips onto his.
“Happy New Year!” You shut your eyes, tears rolling down your cheeks as you deepened the kiss. It was desperate, an escape from the reality that stood across the room from you and Harry.

Did you make any money today?  Not today, because it’s a weekend.
What was the highest place you've ever jumped from?  I’m not too sure, actually. I tend to be cautious when it comes to jumping just because I always have this fear at the back of my head that I could possibly snap my legs in half upon landing lol.
Have you ever gone swimming in a river?  I don’t think I have.
Is there something you really want to buy at the moment?  I want a jumbo RJ doll but it’s quite expensive and not one of my priorities at the moment. 
Would you ever consider culinary school?  I want to learn how to cook but not passionate enough about it to enroll in culinary school altogether, so no.
What was the last souvenir someone got you?  It’s been a while since anyone went anywhere...
Do you have a favorite remix of a song?  I’ve never enjoyed remixes and just stick to original versions of songs. The one remix I’ll give a pass to is BTS’ Mic Drop with Steve Aoki just because that one includes a dance break that sounds really nice and gets me all hyped up.
Has the power gone out recently?  Yeah, like two weeks ago. I was working from home then so it had been a huge bother, but fortunately I had been charging my devices all day and also had enough data on my phone so I was able to continue.
Do you like driving at night?  It’s ok and actually pretty relaxing if it’s LATE late at night and there’s barely any cars. Driving in the evening during rush hour, on the other hand, is just fucking stressful.
What do you think is the most saddest sounding instrument?  Depending on how it’s played, probably the piano or violin.
Do you really pay attention to the ratings on movies?  Yes. It’s a pretty influential factor.
Have you ever snuck in to a theater/dance/bar etc?  No.
If given the chance, would you go to Ireland?  I mean, it’s not really on top of my bucket list but for the sake of travelling and experiencing a different place and culture I definitely would go to Ireland.
Are you afraid of standing on the edge of hills/skyscrapers/cliffs etc?  I am scared but whenever I’m given the chance to do this I kind of scrap that fear first and live in the moment.
Do you have a favorite species of wild cat (tiger/lion/cougar etc)?  No.
Do you have an absolute favorite name (boy or girl)? Alessandra, 120%. It is so beautiful-sounding, plus I love that you can use "Alessa" as a nickname. My Silent Hill obsession is quite thrilled by that, ha ha. < I love that name too, now that I think about it. For now, I think Olivia still tops my list.
Are you good at pronouncing foreign words?  My English is alright.
When listening to music, do you usually tap your foot etc to the beat?  I tap my fingers more than my foot.
Have you ever literally cried on a friend's shoulder?  Yeah but they were also my significant other then, so I dunno if that counts. I’m not super into physical touch so this isn’t something I’d do towards a friend, no matter how close we are.
Would you ever consider being a DJ at a party if you were paid?  Nah, I would suck.
Do strapless bras work for you?  No, my boobs are too small. 
Has anyone told you that they wanted to marry you/were planning on it/etc?  No.
Do you feel comfortable enough to wear short shorts?  Yeah, I just never really have the opportunity to wear them.
Have a favorite actor/actress from Old Hollywood? (Marilyn Munroe, etc) AUDREY HEPBURNNNNNNNNNN
What's your opinion on people who stretch their ears?  They can do whatever they want lol. I’m personally not a fan of the look but that’s my own problem to deal with.
Do you think tattoos are expressive art or unattractive?  Expressive.
What is your school mascot?  None of the schools I attended have one.
Have you ever seen a bear in the wild? I have never seen a bear.
What's the book you're currently reading?  Not reading anything at the moment.
Can you recall the most disturbing movie you've ever seen?  Eraserhead. Requiem For A Dream is also stressful to watch, even on your 2nd or 45th rewatch.
Has anyone you know gotten mono?  Possibly, but I can’t place names at the moment.
Have you ever picked an apple off the tree and eaten it?  No. Aside from the fact that I don’t eat fruits, apple trees aren’t native here so I’ve never actually seen one.
Can you say yes/no in different languages?  Oo/hindi, ne/ani.
Out of the traditional superheroes, which one is your favorite?  I don’t like superheroes.
Ever peed in your pants after the age of 10?  Not in my pants but my bed, but fortunately it just happened once.
Had any surgeries? What kind?  I have not.
Ever told your parents you hated them?  I had it written down on my journal when I was going through those rebellious puberty years, but it was only directed towards my mom because that had also been the peak of her emotionally/mentally abusive days. It’s funny because she snooped through my stuff then and saw the entry and ended up crying...and I didn’t even feel bad about it because 1) I meant what I wrote, and 2) she literally went through my shit. I still don’t feel bad about it.
Do you let your pets on your furniture?  Yes they can get on the couch and my bed.
How do you feel about kettle cooked chips?  I don’t really have an opinion lmao. If they are chips then they are going in my mouth.
How strong do you like your coffee?  I like milky/creamy coffee best tbh. When it comes to how strong they are I don’t have a preference.
Would you rather see someone of the opposite sex naked or nicely dressed?  Idk.
Would you ever consider visiting Texas?  I have relatives based in San Antonio and we’re pretty close to that side of the family, so yeah. 
If you could make a movie, what would it be about?  I’ve never been one for creative writing.
If you were kicked out of your current residence whom would you call?  My grandma or one of my aunts.
Do you want a boyfriend or girlfriend?  Not at this point in my life.
Do you prefer broccoli or asparagus?  Oooooohh I love both!
Was the last person you kissed attractive?  Objectively yes, but I no longer feel the attraction I once held for her.
Are you racist at all?  No.
Do you read creepypasta? If not, you should.  No thanks.
Have you ever vandalized?  Yeah some desks when I was in grade school.
Would you ever scuba dive in shark-infested waters if you had the chance? Most likely not. And by the way, they do not "infest" waters. That's their home. I hate that phrase so much. < This is a good point and I’d like to keep it here. Anywho, yeah I’m willing to do this but as far as I know they keep you in a cage when you go down in the water. I’d only do it if this was guaranteed lol.
Have you ever been drunk at work?  Hungover, yes. Drunk while at work, hell no.

She
Inspired by “She” by dodie. Part 2 is here! This one is a quite a bit longer than I originally intended. I guess that happens when I get too excited about an idea haha. Nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy!
Word Count: 3340
Part 1
————————————————————
Part 2
Cathy glanced at herself one last time in the mirror, scanning over her outfit for any imperfections. She wasn’t wearing anything fancy, just blue skinny jeans and a grey t-shirt, yet she still felt apprehensive about leaving her room. 
Of course, she knew that none of the other queens would mock her outfit but she still felt so out-of-place around them. They were all very into fashion and dressed to impress while Cathy simply didn’t. She preferred to spend her time reading and writing over shopping for the latest fashion trends.
Cathy pulled at the hem of her shirt to straighten out the cloth before heading over to her desk to grab her phone. She checked to see if she had any unread messages and sighed in relief when there were none. Kitty hadn’t spilled her glitter which meant the queens should be ready to leave soon. Cathy quickly slid her phone into her pocket before leaving her room.
She walked down the stairs and entered the living room where Cleves, Jane, and Aragon were waiting. They all greeted Cathy as she approached.
“Anne and Kitty should be down soon,” Jane said. “They said they were finishing up when I asked them a few minutes ago.”
“‘Finishing up’ for those two could take ages,” Aragon replied, putting air quotes around “finishing up.”
Cleves grumbled in agreement before walking to the bottom of the stairs and yelling, “Anne, Kitty, hurry up! I want to get my boba tea sometime in the next month!”
Cathy heard one of the bedroom doors swing open as Kitty shouted back. “Coming!” Two pairs of feet descended the stairs before Anne and Kitty made their entrance into the living room.
“We’re here!” Anne exclaimed, calling Cathy’s attention to her. Cathy was left breathless at the sight in front of her. Anne was wearing a green crop top that left her midriff slightly exposed, along with black jeans and her classic choker. Cathy’s feelings began to bubble up to the surface at the sight though she managed to force them down and compose herself. Cathy flashed Anne a quick smile which was immediately returned.  
Cathy was snapped out of the moment by the sound of Jane jingling her car keys as she grabbed them from the counter by the front door. “Well, now that we’re all here, let’s be on our way,” Jane said to the other queens before leading the way to her minivan. 
As usual, Cathy opted to sit in the back of the minivan so that the other queens could sit closer to the speakers. Cathy was just about to shift the seat back into position when a hand stopped her. Before Cathy could even process what had happened, Anne was sitting next to her in the back row.
“I hope you don’t mind me joining you back here,” Anne said as she shifted the seat in front of her back into its regular position.
“No! Not at all,” Cathy replied. “It’s nice to have some company.”
Anne smiled at that before the rest of the queens piled into the vehicle. As Jane pulled out of the driveway, Cleves grabbed the auxiliary cord and began playing music through the speakers. Kitty immediately began singing along to the song that Cleves had chosen.
“You look really nice.” Cathy turned her head at the comment, growing more surprised when she realized that Anne had directed it at her.
Anne saw the surprised expression on Cathy’s face and misinterpreted it. She quickly began backtracking. “I mean… you always look nice. But especially right now… What I mean to say is I like your outfit,” Anne rambled as the blush on her cheeks intensified with each word that spilled out of her mouth.
“Thank you, Anne,” Cathy replied, dropping her gaze to her lap in hopes that Anne wouldn’t see the similar tint of red that was now painting Cathy’s cheeks as well. “I really like your outfit as well.” 
Cathy finally looked up after a few moments to see Anne smiling softly at her. When their eyes met, Anne’s smile widened which only brought a similar smile to Cathy’s face. 
Cathy eventually fixated her gaze out the window, watching the familiar sights go by as the car approached the mall. She was also half listening to Cleves and Kitty’s duet that was happening in the row in front of her.
Cathy’s thoughts came to a halt when she felt a soft hand brush hers from where it was resting on the leather seat next to her. Cathy didn’t dare turn around to face the culprit. Instead, she simply bit her lip and tried to steady her breathing that had become quite erratic from the touch. 
It was probably just an accident, Cathy reasoned with herself. It doesn’t mean anything.
Cathy barely moved a muscle until the van was safely parked in one of the mall’s parking spots. Only then did she break her temporary spell of immobility as she exited the van and joined the other queens outside. 
The group entered the mall and were welcomed by the bright lights and signs of the various shops. Before any of the queens had the chance to run off, Aragon began her monologue of “How to Behave at the Mall.”
“…and make sure you don’t break anything. Please. Check your phones so we don’t have to hunt you down when it’s time to leave. Okay?” Aragon finished, alternating her gaze between Kitty and Anne. The two cousins nodded before breaking out into huge smiles.
“Perfect! We’ll meet back here when it’s time to leave,” Jane said. “I’m going to look for some new throw pillows. Ooh! And maybe some more candles!” Jane walked off in pursuit of her desired items, followed by Aragon who mumbled under her breath that Jane would spend too much money if she didn’t babysit her credit card.
“Let’s go, Anna!” Kitty shouted, dragging Cleves off in the direction of the toy store. Cathy was fully expecting Anne to follow her cousin and leave her by herself so she was quite surprised when the Boleyn girl turned back to her with a grin on her face.
“And where are we off to?” Anne asked. Cathy felt her heart thrumming inside her ribcage. Did Anne really want to spend time with her?
“I was planning on going to the bookstore,” Cathy answered before quickly adding, “Unless you want to go somewhere else. I don’t have a preference really.”
Anne’s smile widened before she linked arms with Cathy and began pulling her in the direction of the bookstore. “I love books.”
Cathy felt butterflies stir in her stomach as she walked arm-in-arm with Anne towards the bookstore. She let herself imagine for a few moments what it would be like to link arms with Anne as they walked together to a coffee shop for a date. She imagined Anne kissing her cheek softly and whispering to her how beautiful she looked. 
Cathy shook her head to rid her mind of the daydream just as they entered the bookstore. She gazed in awe at the amount of books in sight, taking in all the different titles and genres. Anne had a similar expression on her face as she looked around. “I see why you like it here.”
Cathy turned to Anne. “It’s my little paradise. It’s quiet, I’m surrounded by books, and the chairs are super comfortable.” Cathy gestured to the armchairs with her free hand. “I usually grab a book and read until the other queens are done.” Cathy ducked her head in embarrassment as she admitted to what her mall experiences were actually like.
“What were you thinking of reading today?” Anne asked out of curiosity.
Cathy looked back up to meet Anne’s eyes. She didn’t see any judgment in them, much to her surprise. Rather, she saw genuine interest and warmth swirling in those green irises. Cathy shifted her focus to the Classics section of the bookstore so she didn’t get caught staring into Anne’s eyes for too long.
“I was planning on reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde,” Cathy replied.
“I guess I’ll have to find a book to read so I can join you,” Anne said. “I’ll meet you back at the chairs.” 
Before Cathy could respond, Anne had unlinked their arms and run off to find a book. Cathy shook her head at Anne’s antics but the small smile on her face gave away how fond she was of the girl. 
Cathy made her way to the Classics section in pursuit of her chosen book. She scanned the shelves carefully until her eyes landed on a hardback copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Cathy grabbed it and admired the cover before heading to the seating area where she would spend the rest of her time reading. 
Cathy made her way over to her favorite armchair and sat down, curling up comfortably on the cushion. Before she began reading, Cathy looked around until she spotted Anne approaching her with a wide grin on her face. Cathy let out a small chuckle when she noticed the book she was holding.
“Of all the books to choose from, you chose that one,” Cathy commented as Anne slid into the armchair in front of her.
“I don’t know what you mean. Captain Underpants is a classic,” Anne shot back with a smile on her face. 
Cathy giggled at Anne’s response. “I’m not sure the critics would agree.”
“I’m the only critic you need, babes.” Cathy’s breath hitched at Anne’s casual use of the nickname. She felt her cheeks begin to flush pink so she let her gaze drop down to the book in her hands in an attempt to hide it.
“Let me read in peace, Anne,” Cathy replied lamely as she opened up her book. She heard Anne shuffle in her seat and the sound of pages turning. Cathy flipped a few pages of her own book until she arrived at the beginning of the first chapter.
From that point on, the two queens read in almost complete silence, aside from Anne’s occasional giggles at the jokes of Captain Underpants. Cathy was totally enraptured by the world Oscar Wilde created in his novel. She absorbed each word written, page after page. She almost forgot that Anne was even there. Almost. There was still that elated feeling in Cathy’s chest when she remembered that Anne was still right there in front of her.
Cathy shyly glanced up from her book to admire Anne while she read. Except when she looked up, she saw that Anne wasn’t reading. Instead, the Boleyn girl was staring right back at her. Their eyes met for a brief moment before both queens snapped their heads back down to their respective books, crimson creeping quickly into both of their cheeks.
Cathy had trouble concentrating on her novel from that point on. She scanned the words on the pages but her mind was elsewhere. Did Anne think she was weird for staring at her? Did she somehow figure out about her feelings? Did Cathy have something on her face? Was that why Anne was looking at her?
Cathy’s mind swirled with embarrassed and anxious thoughts about what had just happened. As Cathy tried to calm herself down and return to reading, she was snapped out of her thoughts by her phone’s text tone. She checked the screen and saw that Aragon had texted the group chat saying that they would be meeting at the mall entrance in five minutes so that they could get home in time for lunch.
Cathy spoke up to get Anne’s attention. “Aragon wants us to meet back at the entrance in five minutes.”
“Already?” Anne whined. She checked her phone and muttered something under her breath that Cathy didn’t catch. 
“I’m going to buy this really quick and then we can go,” Cathy continued before getting up and walking to the cash register. After paying for the book, she returned to where Anne was waiting for her by the door.
“I’m guessing you enjoyed your book then,” Anne commented as Cathy approached.
“Yeah! It’s really interesting. I’ve enjoyed it so far,” Cathy replied. “How was Captain Underpants?”
“It was a masterpiece,” Anne said as they began walking back to the mall’s entrance.
“Spoken like a true critic,” Cathy joked before noticing that they weren’t heading toward the queens’ rendezvous spot anymore. “Where are we going?”
“It’s a surprise,” Anne replied and grabbed Cathy’s hand, leading her in the opposite direction of the mall’s entrance. 
“Aragon is going to be mad at us if we’re late, Anne,” Cathy fretted but nonetheless followed the girl, relishing the feeling of Anne’s hand in hers. She couldn’t help but notice how soft Anne’s hand was and how perfectly it fit in her own. Cathy bit her lip to prevent herself from smiling at the simple action.
“First of all, Aragon won’t be mad at you. She’ll be mad at me,” Anne explained. “Second, it won’t take that long. And third, it’ll be fun! I promise.” Anne flashed Cathy one of her dazzling smiles and squeezed her hand lightly. 
Cathy sighed. How could she say no to Anne? “Alright. As long as it’s quick.”
“It is!” Anne replied. “We’re almost there.”
The two continued walking until Anne stopped in front of the mall’s photo booth. She let go of Cathy’s hand and gestured dramatically to the machine. “Ta-da!” 
Cathy giggled at Anne’s excitement. “Really, Anne?”
“C’mon, Cathy. Please?” Anne pleaded, pouting slightly. “I’ll pay for it.”
“Okay,” Cathy acquiesced as Anne held open the dark curtain for Cathy to enter. Cathy scrambled inside and took a seat, joined by Anne a few moments later. She watched as Anne inserted the money and jumped in surprise at the loud voice that was activated in the machine. 
The automated voice walked the two queens through the process before it began counting down. Before Cathy had a chance to ask Anne what pose they should do, the Boleyn girl wrapped her arm around Cathy’s shoulder and pulled her into her side. Cathy smiled widely at the action just as the first photo was taken.
Cathy turned to face Anne and stared adoringly at her as she made a silly face for the next photo. Anne was so close to her. Their legs were brushing, Anne’s arm was wrapped around her, and Cathy was in an utter state of bliss. She breathed in the scents of Anne’s shampoo and perfume, and instantly felt calm. There were hints of lemongrass and vanilla, mixed with the sweet aroma of honeysuckle. Cathy wanted to stay like that forever, in Anne’s arms breathing in her intoxicating scent.
Cathy was snapped out of her thoughts by the automated voice beginning a new countdown. Cathy turned back to face the camera and pulled another silly face to match Anne’s. The camera snapped the picture and the voice announced that the next photo would be their last one.
Cathy thought about what she should do next but was cut off by Anne beating her to it. Cathy froze when she felt soft lips pressed against her cheek. She was completely caught off guard by the action, subconsciously feeling a small smile spread across her face matched by a light blush on her cheeks. 
The photo booth captured the moment and the two blushing queens parted from each other. A few moments later, the strip of pictures was printed out and Anne grabbed them from the slot in the machine. Cathy followed Anne as they exited the photo booth, blinking as her eyes readjusted to the outside light.
Anne and Cathy rushed back to the mall entrance as quickly as they could after that. Cathy’s mind was still reeling from the events of the photo booth, questioning what Anne had done. Even though Cathy tried to ignore it, the same thought kept bouncing back inside her head. She enjoyed it. She enjoyed being close to Anne. She enjoyed it when Anne kissed her. Cathy shook her head frantically to rid herself of the recurring thought. She was falling madly in love with Anne.
As the two approached the mall doors, Cathy noticed that the other four queens were waiting for them. Aragon had her arms crossed and she was shaking her head in disapproval as Anne and Cathy joined the group. 
“You’re late,” Aragon deadpanned with a frown on her face.
Before Cathy could respond, Anne was already speaking. “Sorry, Aragon. It was my fault. I lost track of time.”
“Of course you did,” Aragon responded before letting out a sigh. “Now that we’re all here, let’s head back to the car.”
As the queens began walking back to Jane’s minivan, Anne bumped shoulders with Cathy to get her attention. “Told you Aragon wouldn’t get mad at you.”
Cathy chuckled. “No, but she got mad at you.”
“I’m used to it,” Anne quipped before pulling out the photo booth pictures from her pocket and handing them to Cathy. “Here. Maybe you can use this as a bookmark for your new book.” Anne gestured to the bag that Cathy was still carrying. 
Cathy gingerly took the photo strip from Anne. “Thank you.”
Anne winked at Cathy as they made it to the car. The queens loaded up their purchases and got in, enjoying the peaceful ride back home. 
After lunch, Cathy found herself back in her room staring at the photo booth pictures. A giddy smile was plastered on her face as she admired the sight of Anne kissing her cheek. Cathy got up from her bed and made her way to her desk. She took a seat and pulled out her journal, setting the photo booth strip off to the side. Cathy picked up her pen and began writing.
Anne never fails to make my heart flutter with her small tokens of friendship. A mug of coffee, a car ride, hand holding and linked arms, an impromptu photo booth shoot… a kiss on the cheek. When I close my eyes, I can still feel the feather soft touch of her lips in the same spot where she kissed me. Oh, how I long to feel that same softness on my own lips… 
I’m getting ahead of myself. There is not a single notion of possibility that she could ever return my love for her. I am Icarus and she is the brilliant sun. If I fly too close, she will be my downfall. I may wish in my heart for her to fall in love with me but my mind is too sensible to give in to such a foolish desire. I am satisfied with these small moments of friendship, despite how much it pains me to keep my feelings closed off and hidden. This pain is a constant reminder of how extraordinary and beautiful she is to me. There is no better pain than that. The fruits of love are sweet no matter the tree, whether they are orchards on public grounds or private property.
Anne is so blissfully unaware of how much she means to me. She wanders through every day not knowing that she holds my very heart within her grasp. I have given her my most precious possession and yet she is oblivious to my self-inflicted vulnerability. Anne, my beloved Anne! I lament my cowardice, for you will never know that you mean everything to me.
Cathy took a shaky breath as she finished putting her thoughts to paper. She hadn’t expected to get so emotional while writing. Cathy heaved a sigh as she quickly signed her name at the bottom of the journal entry. Before she closed the journal, she glanced back at the photo booth strip and smiled. She quietly slid it into her journal before closing it and stashing it away in her desk drawer. The photo booth pictures were still a bookmark like Anne wanted, just not for The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Chapter 7: Navigation of memory - Viridian Love Story (pokémon fanfiction)
My dear friends,
it’s been so long ago since I last updated my current fanfiction. Let me tell you why: My mother spent 60 days in hospital and 30 days in rehabilitation. She suffers from a severe liver cirrhosis due to a hepatitis she had as a child.
I visited her every single day and sat at her bedside. The doctors in my hometwon gave her 2-3 more days before she would die and my father and I were able to get her to a better hospital just in time, where she slowly made progress. It was terrible to see how my mother was feeling bad and she could hardly do anything on her own anymore. But now she is feeling much better, she is walking again without aids and has regained some courage. Nevertheless, she is on the waiting list for a liver transplant and I am in the test phase to see if I am a suitable donor. That’s why I was hardly ever active online, but that should change now, because I still love Team Rocket, there were simply more important things in the last three months. I hope you understand. Thank you!
Now, enjoy the new chapter!
«What’s the story with Mew?” Ash spoke up. Jessie and James exchanged meaningful glances. They weren’t sure if they were allowed to talk about a top-secret project of Team Rocket. After all, they would pass on confidential data to third parties and thus risk their jobs. On the other hand, they had long since gambled away another pardon from their boss.
“Go ahead!” Jessie let James go first. He cleared his throat, still not sure if he would enter forbidden territory.
”Giovanni has been working for years on his so-called Mew project. The goal is to find clues and possible whereabouts of this legendary Pokémon. To do this, they interview dozens of people to find out more and get to the bottom of Mew. Anyone who is questioned in a lengthy interrogation is then arrested and shipped off, because they don’t want important information to leak out. Only a few know the exact whereabouts of the deportees and the rumors and stories circulating about them make your blood run cold.” Team Rocket felt in error. The disclosure of such important information would have an aftermath.
Misty could not believe that there was a faint hope of finding her parents alive. “Where are the deportees taken to?” she wanted to know. Jessie and James were humming and hawing, they didn’t want to get more involved. Slowly, Misty’s patience tore. “Come on, guys! You know exactly where my parents could be! So pull yourself together and do the right thing for once” she demanded.
James sighed. “To find them we would have to break into the main base on a pretty deserted island that is not easy to reach. It is surrounded by high fences with barbed wire. Surveillance cameras have been installed everywhere. They can control every single spot on the island, stop intruders and lock them away. It won’t be easy” he explained.
“Why would you break into the main base? You guys work for Giovanni. Don’t you have a member card or something?” Ash thought there something fishy about the whole story. “Sure we would! But we’ve been suspended, because apparently, I screwed up!” Jessie threw an angry look at James. “Please, stop arguing now! There are more important things right now. For once, can you help us and bring us to this island? I’d be much obliged” Misty did not ask for much. She clung to the last straw of her almost extinguished hope.
Team Rocket turned their backs on them. “Brief review of the situation” Meowth whispered. “Should we help them or should we let them fidget?” Jessie and James considered their options. “The twerpette is looking for her mother, I can understand how it feels to be completely alone in the world, this loneliness can seriously drive you crazy. On the other hand, we have been suspended and another faux pas is out of question. We would have to be even more careful and rely entirely on our spying techniques. Do you think we could bring them in?” Jessie looked into the round. James nodded. “We have already mastered many hurdles. Just think of the Training Days many years ago. We were so inexperienced and green behind the ears, but we still passed with flying colors. Over the years we have acquired innumerable distractions, we can make ourselves practically invisible and nobody would notice that we are sneaking into the taboo area. Maybe we should risk it and should we finally loose our jobs, yes then you know my answer, then we will build up our own business.” He smiled gently but could not win Jessie over yet. They turned around. “We’re going to help you!”
“So is there a truce between us?” Ash asked. “For now,” Jessie shook his hand.
Team Rocket led the young students towards the harbor. There they would board a Rocket transport vehicle disguised as a cruise ship. They took two cabins and would only talk to each other under certain circumstances and when it was really necessary. They were not allowed to attract attention, but Jessie, James and Meowth had some costumes in their luggage that would help to hide their identity.
When Misty, Ash and Brock headed for the dining hall in the early evening, they were welcomed by a brightly lit room. The smell of delicious food wafted towards them, so that their mouths watered. They sat down at a round table a little aside and waited for the promised welcome drink. At the piano, the entertainer showed his talent and invited guests who had already dined to a slow waltz accompanied by violins. Nothing reminded of an undercover mission of Team Rocket. The guests chatted and enjoyed themselves, food was brought on silver trays. Men and women were treated to the most delicious meat and fish dishes they could find on the menu. “Are they serious?” Misty had to refrain from laughing when she discovered Jessie, James and Meowth in their seemingly unremarkable disguise. Jessie and James were dressed as if they came from a Puritan village. Meowth sucked on a pacifier and had a bib on. Ash rolled his eyes. “So much for not attracting attention!” They laughed.
For James the evening went on endlessly. No matter what Jessie was wearing, he could never take his eyes off her. She was a real beauty, even in rags and he was an absolute fool for having missed the chance. Jessie hardly paid any attention to him but stared at the dance floor and the many happy couples, who seemed so carefree. At some point, James could no longer stand the tense atmosphere and left the dining hall under the pretext that he needed some fresh air.
James reproached himself terribly. How could he deceive Jessie like that and put all the blame on her? He was pathetic and a real comrade pig. He had let her down several times before, but this time he had really screwed up. She was hurt and angry and wouldn’t forgive him so easily, even though he had saved her from the ghost Pokémon. It was up to him to smooth things over. A fresh sea breeze blew through his lavender locks. From far away he could see the harbor of the forbidden island. Each time, it reminded him of the time in Maiden’s Peak, where Jessie had for the first time indirectly admitted that feelings were involved in her rescue operation. James had been obsessed with this deceased beauty and he and Brock almost fell victim to a joking Gastly. James enjoyed reminiscing about their time in Kanto. They were still young and wild and had their whole life as beginner criminals ahead of them. He and Jessie had spent so many nights together, talking, laughing, and sometimes even crying when the situation was simply overwhelming. He found comfort in her and was able to unload his whole burden of the past on her. She listened patiently and could understand only too well how a messed-up childhood made them both what they are today. They were so similar, they simply belonged together, and James wished with all his heart that this strong bond between them would be reborn.
“Am I disturbing you?” Brock had approached him. “There’s quite a lot of air between you and Jessie, right?” James nodded his head but remained silent. “I don’t want to interfere with you too much, just this much: you two are meant for each other. I understood that already as a teenager. You were an unbeatable team, you supported each other and even if you got into each other’s hair, the waves were soon smoothed out. You won’t believe how much I wanted such a relationship back then. You are one heart and soul, and nothing can separate you, not even a stupid argument over trivialities. Tell her how you feel, tell her that you’re sorry and tell her better too early than too late. Please, don’t loose her, you guys are a perfect match!” With these words Brock turned away and left James standing at the railing. “Thank you” the Team Rocket agent muttered and took new courage.
Just as he was about to turn around, Jessie came towards him. It was time to ask her for forgiveness. His breath stopped, he was so nervous. “Jessie, can we talk?” A gentle smile played around her lips, but she shook her head. “Not yet.”

BnHA Fics I’ve Read This Week 2
Here are my notable stories that I found and read this week. Some of these contain manga spoilers. 
Confined By My Own Mind (I’m Not Fine) - This is a Dadzawa fic that, despite the title saying that it must be, takes place from Aizawa’s perspective and not Midoriya’s. During this fic, the homeroom teacher of 1A realizes that something is wrong with one of his students and pulls him aside during class. 
Aches and Pains - Another Dadzawa fic, this time from Midoriya’s side of things. Unable to sleep because of the old pains in his bones caused by misusing his Quirk, Midoriya heads out of his room and runs into his teacher in the dorm kitchen. 
Disowned - This is not the most realistic Shouto Todoroki fic that I’ve ever read, but I like the idea of him losing control of his power and himself after being kicked out of the Todoroki family. I wish this fic went a little more into the “why” of things, and the aftermath, but still a good little story. 
Angel’s Egg - THIS IS NOT COMPLETED YET! Usually I don’t read, much less review, incomplete stories, but this one - only at three chapters so far - is a great story so far. Basically, what if Izuku was left on All Might’s doorstep, but instead of a baby, he’s an egg that has to be incubated? It sounds weird but it’s actually really cute - and baby Izuku has little wings. Honestly, give this a read and encourage the author, it is so good. 
Day 10 - Wait No, Aww Crap, Here We Go Again - This long titled fic is the first Kaminari Centric fic that I have read, but it will not be the last. In this story, Kaminari gets upset about something that Monoma said to him, and his friends make sure that some adults takes care of it - like they should in canon but don’t. 
Pretty - This is a fic where Monoma and Shinsou are an established couple, and Monoma goes off to visit his boyfriend in the middle of the night. No smut, I don’t review any of that. Honestly, this was cute, even if I don’t really ship it. 
Spare Scares? - This is clearly going for ShinDoriya, and they really make this a cute story, but this is more or less before any relationship that they could/will have. Basically, Shinsou only came to this UA Halloween party to find Hatsume and pick up something he needs for training, and runs into Midoriya, who is here dressed as a ghost. 
The Road That Went Forever - Would you like to utter despise Hisashi Midoriya? I know that I wasn’t planning on it when I read this fic, but that is what happened. Basically, after he finds out that Izuku is Quirkless, he starts trying to find a way to get rid of him and he does. 
A Routine Affair - This is the second Huyumi fic that I’ve ever read, and I still see it as a bit of a crack ship more than anything else, but this story is cute. Basically, Hawks brings Fuyumi coffee before work every day and it takes her a very long time to realize that he likes her. 
Float - Now this is an interesting one. Basically, Midoriya is trying to unlock Float, which is Nana Shimura’s power. It turns out the only way that he can do that is to let go of the things he’s been feeling that are weighing him down and talk about them. This is very much a “fuck Bakugou” fic, which is my favorite. I love that Midoriya finally gets to feel and talk about all of the things that were done to him in this one. 
Savior - Basically, what if everyone told Bakugou to stop being an asshole to Midoriya on the first day of school instead of condoning his behavior? 
Uraraka’s Guide to Crushes - This is a TsuChako fic, which I think is a cute ship but don’t read about often. In this one, Uraraka is so sure that this will be a quick crush and then it’ll be over. The thing is, it doesn’t go away, which means she might actually have to confront her emotions... terrifying. 
The Sparkling Hero : Aoyama Yuuga - I have never seen a fic entirely dedicated to Aoyama, which made this an interesting read. Though not canon to the few things we do know about his background, it is still an interesting take on one of UA’s most sparkling future heroes. 
The Second Prince - This is a “what is AFO were Midoriya’s dad” fics, in a royal fantasy AU. Although some of the characters are OOC, this is a look at what Midoriya’s life would be like if he lived in a little castle where he can’t get hurt and still tried to help people anyways. I was surprised by how much I liked this fic. 
First Try (Not the Last) - In this fic, Midoriya has a Quirk, something that he only discovers when he tries to launch himself off of a building like Bakugou told him to. This is the first fic in the series, and I haven’t read it all the way through yet. Pretty good though. 
Like Light Through a Window - In this Aizawa and Hagakure Centric fic, the teacher finds the young hero in training after she’s been almost crushed under a building. He’s able to see her face for the first time, but only because it’s covered in blood. 
The Deaf Hero: Deku -  Basically, what if everything were the same but Midoriya was losing his hearing during it? Forty chapters, worth the read. 
I See You - In another fic where Midoriya is missing one of his senses, this blind successor of All Might wants to be able to see his mentor. The only embarrassing part is asking him if he wouldn’t mind Midoriya touching all over his face. 
Remember From Here on In - This is a fic where the author comes up with the six Quirks that Midoriya is going to get because of OFA. Although not canon, it was very good and fun. 
Remembrance - Throughout the course of these three chapters, Midoriya gets blasted back through time and lands in a world pre-All Might. Or at least, not the All Might that he knows, since he’s still at UA. 
Shout & Mute - In this EraserMic fic, the two of them are stuck in each other’s bodies throughout the course of the fic because of a villain. While staying at Hizashi’s apartment in his body, Shouta realizes just how much he loves him and knows that he’s going to end up confessing even if the feelings aren’t reciprocated. 
How Not to Enjoy the Weather, an Article by Kaminari Denki - The story toys around with the idea of this electric boy getting overpowered during thunder storms and him isolating himself so that he doesn’t end up hurting anyone that he cares about. 
A Deadman’s Gun - Throughout ten chapters, we get to see what would happen if Midoriya never got a Quirk and instead fell in league with Stain. 
See No Evil, Hear No Evil - A Bakugou and Kaminari friendship fic. Turns out that on the day that Kaminari forgot his contacts that he hasn’t told anyone about, and Bakugou forgot his hearing aids that he needs because of his Quirk. They decide to depend on each other throughout the day. 
Pictures, Posters, and Tender Beauty - During this fic, we get to see exactly what Midoriya thinks about his mentors weakened state. Dad Might fluff ahead. 
Electric Connection - This is a story where Kaminari can’t sleep - thanks ADHD - and so the entire BakuSquad comes into help. Shinsou is his boyfriend in this one, but it isn’t the focal point of the story. 
Caught Up - This is a Shinsou Centric fic where he fights through all of the not-quite-comments about his Quirk, and is thankful for having Aizawa in his corner. The last scene is Shinsou and Aizawa working together with the capture weapon. 
How To Ask Out a Guy in 2000 Words or Less - This is a ShinDoriya fic, and it features exactly what you think it does based off of the title. A very cute little story. 
Ghost - This is a story that actually features Shinsou and Shigaraki, the two of them having met at a toy store when Shinsou was just a little kid. Honestly, I wish there were multiple chapters of this because the idea is really interesting. 
Eyes On Me - Throughout three chapters, we see how Aizawa deals with his own panic attacks and the reasons why he feels the need to help his students through theirs. 
For Blood and Wine are Red (and Blood and Wine Were on His Hands) - Despite having a very long and Oscar Wilde inspired name, this is a short one-shot about Vigilante!Midoriya breaking into Aizawa’s apartment, looking for a first aid kit. 
Schrödinger’s Cat - This is a an extremely beautiful and painful story where Midoriya is found, months after going missing with a new powerful Quirk, white hair, and no memory of how he got there. This story was translated by the author from it’s native German, where is got less than five hundred hits. I think that everyone should read this fic and give the author a lot of love. 
Around and Around We Go - One of those “Five Things + One” things, this time with EraserMight and hair ties. A very cute story. I don’t get the chance to read a lot of EraserMight but I’m glad that I took the time to read this one. 
Playlists - Useless lesbians Momo and Jirou pine over each other and don’t realize that their love is requited until Jirou makes her crush known via a playlist. 
Nothing Cuts Like a Mother - In this Inko Midoriya Centric fic, we have the mother going to UA to tell Aizawa about the troubles that he has, with his Quirk. She also tells him about the bullying that Izuku Midoriya went through, and tells his teacher that these mistakes cannot be repeated. 
Team Player - This is a fic about Dabi not wanting to be redeemed from his sins. That was for Touya, an old him. He isn’t that guy anymore. 
Helping Hands - Primarily from the perspective of Kirishima, this is a fic that deals with an AU where Midoriya never got into the Hero Course, and is instead a Gen Ed course student at UA. Cue Bakugou attacking him on the second day, telling him that he doesn’t even belong at the same school as someone like himself - and then see all of Class 1A get angry for Midoriya because “Dude did you just fucking attack a dude because he’s Quirkless?” 
It’s Hurt Denki Hours - Now, I don’t really like the way that this one ends, but in this story the BakuSquad is convinced that Kaminari is the traitor and refuses to talk to him. This really hurts Kami, because he was actually really, really worried about his friends and this hurts him deeply. There is also a bit of a misunderstanding about how Shinsou’s Quirk works, but I will overlook it for the angst. 
Optimistic Friendship Association - This fic features Midoriya accidentally texting Shinsou instead of Yagi, asking how to get OFA to stop breaking his bones. When he’s asked what that is, he panics and says it’s a school group. Now he just has to find a way to explain why a group around optimism is breaking bones... 
Lichtenberg Figures - Another Kaminari Centric fic. In this one, Kaminari accidentally hurts a civilian after panicking during a villain attack. Not wanting to hurt anyone else, he starts refusing to use his Quirk, which does nothing but hurt him in the end. 
Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n Roll - This is a fic that has nothing to do with intercourse, drugs, or music. No, this is an ADHD Kaminari fic, where his RSD makes him not want to fill out a test that he doesn’t remember any of the answers to and he draws all over it. As someone with ADHD, this hit close to home but was really good. 
Kiss Away All These Thrills - A short ShinKami fic about the two of them playing the Pocky Game. Spoilers: it ends with a kiss and a confession.

thoughts about spook 65
...Although, it’s more like a stream of consciousness commentary. I try and fail not to make this too long as usual, so warning long post ahead.
Summary: Aidairo leaves us on that cliffhanger by giving us a break with tension-breaker Kou with his caring friends, more Mitsukou, and then dun dun dun they encounter a Wild Comic Relief of Universal Proportions Natsuhiko (poor fish and tarantula I hope they got back safe) and apparently Natsuhiko wants to capture No.6 like he’s the rarest pokemon of all and might have the secret key to the immortality fountain?? Will we ever know more about these mysterious man stay tuned next month. And oh yeah also No.6 always wanted to throw Aoi into the hole to rot away because he’s also a necromancer. Just great and swell here folks, don’t know how Nene and Akane are faring ~

Tumblr media
W H A T
Natsuhiko do you mean to tell me you’re immortal????? Is that why you survive all these ridiculous levels of eldritch horror????
Fml he really looks like a vampire in that lighting. Esp since I can like see all his individual teeth what on earth is this level of detail Aidairo for once Natsuhiko looks like the cool mysterious guy he was meant to be
Just realised he has like a dyed hair thing going on kinda like Tsuchigomori. Don’t tell me. Natsuhiko are you Tsuchigomori’s secret love child.
‘There’s a bad energy coming from here’ --- pFFFT. He sounds like he’s trying to be a fengshui expert now. A conman
Tumblr media
hmmmm??? Oh that wasn’t a phone?? what is that it’s an onsen...?
wait that is probably a phone nvm. I’m just jumping at every little detail like 👀 
so huh I’m assuming Tsukasa can’t handle no6 on his own either, so....or possibly Natsuhiko is acting on his own??
Tumblr media
Ooh cool blankets, everyone has different flowers!! (*squints* no stop you can’t go looking for flower meanings everywhere)
And yes that’s a phone. Naatsuhiko just canonically has an onsen symbol phonecase just to show he’s a Chill Bro
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
omg what a braggart. what a chest-thumping man u are Natsu-senpai
Tumblr media
OMG KOU NOOO WE WERE MAKING PROGRESS HE TAMED YOU ANYWAY
hahahahha I’m crying. Even Natsuhiko’s conscience is touched by Kou’s trusting naivete I can’t
Tumblr media
oh my god. but thank god Teru-nii still comes first he still hasn’t completely seduced you over to the dark side just yet
Tumblr media
awwww, Kou. Awww. He really, really wants to do his best to save them all. I--
Aw yay Natsu is touched to the point he’ll help!! Hopefully he wasn’t lying!! I hope there isn’t a sacrifice involved-
Tumblr media
oh???
Tumblr media
Onix (srsly I really love all the lotuses everywhere. really going Buddhist symbology there)
Tumblr media
look at dat foot. it go.
oh!! we’re fresh at the battlescene!!
Tumblr media
!!!!!!
IT’S ALIVEEEE
I guess these guys are too useful to let rot in the trashpit eh
Tumblr media
?? For one moment I thought we were looking down into the trashpit at our missing 4 lmao. But why. No 6 you’re coming off as ...naturally innocent??? Dang. Let this cutie rest
I’m genuinely curious how on earth this no 6 is not a god on his own. (It’s funny to me that I’m coincidentally writing about a god like this as well at the same time.) How does he rank equal to the others. How is Hanako even his boss have they ever met before I demand a full show of Hanako’s powers one day. We’re not even sure what his boundary is. Or is it that he only has the power of life and death on those in his boundary?
(edit: just realised that if Tsukasa is behind Natsuhiko then no6 is basically Tsukasa’s dream power - necromancy. He could build all the Frankensteins his little heart ever wanted)
Tumblr media
oof there go the minions. I love how they have little buds on their heads. Every minion of his is ‘living’! And they’re like the first with individuality I’ve seen...?
oh he thinks Aoi did this purposely? Pfft she got dragged in there
Tumblr media
juijuirjfuerjcjkekerjckdediejdiedmwec. I am so worried. But fr this one panel of Aoi is so beautiful.
Tumblr media
Huh the hole is a starburst shape? 6 points hmm --oh wait im dumb it’s closing up oh no
Tumblr media
LOL KEIKAKU DOORI
But shiet really how did he see to that. By giving her power over those specific bugs?? Planting info of that hole in her?
IM SCREAMING THAT’S THE END OF IT THAT’S IT TILL NEXT MONTH

Born to Love you: There she goes. (2/?)
Leo & Alicia
This is from the cgw (Cordonians gone wild) universe. A collaborative AU effort by @ao719 @speedyoperarascalparty @cocomaxley @riseandshinelittleblossom and myself.
If you haven't read the OG when Leo met Alicia, I suggest you do so . This takes place the moments between some of the eventa and situations mentioned. Read it HERE
Tumblr media
Leo laid in bed, tossing and turning. The night playing over and over in his mind. Her smile, those big brown eyes, her laugh, from the moment he saw her it was like time stopped it was an odd feeling to him. sure he had been attracted to many women, he wasn't dubbed the playboy prince for nothing, but this was different.  He wasn't sure what to think, but one thing he was sure of was the need to see her again, to hang out with her and lucky for him, she was staying in the palace for the next 2 months.
“Anything I can help with?” Liam eyed him suspiciously “you want to help? You hated this stuff, that's why you abdicated.”
The next morning he got up, his mind going a mile a minute. Thinking of ways to spend some time with her. He showered, dressed and headed to Liams office. “Hello little brother, what's on the agenda today?” Leo flopped down on the couch, resting his feet on the desk. “Several proposals to look over, a meeting with the zoning committee for a new park and dinner with Anitah.” Liam nudged his feet off the desk.
“No, I don't mind helping Liam. And we all know i abdicated so I didn't have to marry Madeline.” Leo shot him that cocky grin. Liam shook his head and smiled “touche.” He rubbed his chin sitting back in his chair. “Ok Leo, if you are serious I could use an extra set of eyes and hands on these. Aside from our father you have had the same training as I so I trust you to help.”
Leo poured over the papers with Liam, pointing out several things that should be negotiated to better benefit the country. Liam was happy to have the help, it meant getting to dinner on time, and Anitah would be happy.
“So dinner huh? Is it just you and Anitah?” Leo nonchalantly asked.
“There it is. Leo I warned you stay away, she has a boyfriend. And she's Anitah's best friend.”
Liam tossed his pen on the desk.
“Had. She had a boyfriend,  she's single. And i'm not doing anything. She seems like a fun girl, I'd like to get to know her better.. as Friends, dad!”
Liam let out a long sigh. “Yes, she will be there. I'm assuming you want to join us?”
Leo shook his head “Don't mind if I do.”
“Leo im serious, she's not like these girls at court. She doesn't care about titles or wealth. If you hurt her Anitah will kill you. And then me.”
Leo put his hand up in the air “Let me stop you there Li. I am wanting to hang out with her, to have fun. I said nothing about getting into her pants.”
Liam shook his head standing as they walked out of the study.  “This has disaster written all over it. We leave at 6.”
Liam made reservations at the best restaurant in the capital. They lead them quickly to a private dining room, secluded from the other diners. “Allow me.” Leo  pulled her chair out. “Thank you.” she grinned as he took a seat next to her. Liam doing the same for Anitah.
“So Alicia. how are you enjoying Cordonia?” Liam asked.
“Well, its beautiful from what I've seen. But i have seen the airport, and some of the capital.”  she giggled. “I can show you around, if you'd like. I know many secret spots that aren't on any of the tourist list.” Leo smirked. Liam gave him a pointed look “Really? That would be great. Can we go tomorrow?”
“I don't see why not.” Leo grinned.
They spent the dinner talking laughing and joking. Leo and Liam spilling embarrassing stories from growing up.
Anitah and Alicia crying from laughing so hard. Leo had told them a story from when Liam had just turned 7 Leo had just turned 13 and they were in hawaii for his birthday.  There was a chocolate bar in the hotel and Both boys snuck over sneaking treats. Leo found a lizard on a windowsill, he picked it up and put it on Liam's back. Liam freaked out and crashed into the table,  sending a whole vat of chocolate across the room landing right on Constantine.
“I will forget the look on his face.” Leo sighed as he wiped a stray tear from his eye from laughing so hard.
“How pissed was your dad?” Anitah said through laughter.
“Very, he grounded us for a month.”
“Yeah, that was around the time I started sneaking out with Damien.” Leo leaned forward forking a chunk of chocolate cake he began lifting it as Alicia leaned down, taking it off the spoon. His jaw hung open on shock. “Gotta be quicker than that Rhys.” She winked and smirked. “She just. She just ate my cake, of my fork.”
“You can't leave chocolate cake around her Leo.” Anitah laughed.
Alicia scooped a spoonful of her chocolate mousse lifting it to her mouth, just before she reached her lips Leo leaned in his mouth inches from hers as he ate it off the spoon. He leaned back. “Two can play that game.” He gave her his signature smirk and sat back in his chair.
“Ok, ok. It's your turn the two of you.” Leo pointed at the two.
“Us?” they said simultaneously.
“Yes, you two. Time to spill some embarrassing situations. We've been doing it all night, it's only fair.”
Liam looked to Leo, and the two women.  “He has a point love, it's only fair. However we don't have time here.”
“So we go back to my quarters, have a few drinks and continue this party.” the 3 nodded in agreement and they headed towards the exit.
They walked out Liam with his arm around Anitahs waist. Leo walking next to Alicia. a huge grin on his face just as they were bombarded by flashes. The security detail held them off as Bastien hurried them to the waiting car. They slid and and speed away. Leo turned to Alicia. “pull out your phone and delete all of your social media, now!”
“What? Why?” Alicia looked at him confused.
“Alicia, he's serious do it now.”
“those photos they took, will be in all the tabloids and papers tomorrow morning. Their websites by midnight. They will find out who you are and your entire personal life will be at the fingertips of any person in this country.”
“He's not lying, when Anitah came here she had to do the same, until we were able to go in and make all of her accounts private.” Liam spoke sympathetically.
“Ok, fine. You mean everything?”
“Yes.” all 3 said at the same time.
Alicia went through deactivating all of her social media accounts. They pulled up to the palace Anitah and Alicia going to change, Liam and Leo heading to Leos quarters waiting on the girls.  
“So, what do you think the headlines are going to be?” Leo leaned against the table, taking a swig of his scotch.
Liam let out a sigh “Oh probably something about a double date. They don't often catch you out with a woman. And you were with Anitah and I.”  
“You're probably right. They are going to have a field day with this.”
“She's Anita's best friend, and here for two months. It was only a matter of time before they got to her. Anitah was warned about this, we should have debriefed Alicia.”
Leo snorted “Well, its done. They should be back any minute, lets not let this ruin our night.”
As if on cue Anitah and Alicia walked in. Anitah holding a bottle of jagermeister, Alicia a few cans of redbull. “We thought we could spice up this party a little bit.” Anitah grinned.
“Where did you get that? Liam tilted his head.
“The bar in the ballroom.”
She sat the bottle down on the kitchen counter and went over to Liam wrapping her arms around him.
“where's your shot glasses?” Alicia called over to Leo. He walked over to the dry bar pulling 4 out.
He watched as Alicia poured the dark liquor into the shot glasses. Filling each cup with redbull. “You ever have one of these?” he nodded his head. “Yup. Liam on the other hand, I don't think so.”
“well, this ought to be good then.” She giggled as she called Liam and anitah over.
“What do we do with this?” Liam questioned.
“Lets show him Nitah.” Alicia winked as the two dropped their shots into the cup of redbull and drank it down quickly.
“Fuck that's good.” Alicia whooped.
“Hell yeah, let's do another one.” Anitah high fived her. Leo and liam both shared a look and drank theirs down. A few drinks and shots later they were all laughing hysterically.
“Ok ok. What about the time I got pulled over going the wrong way, down a one way street.” Anitah giggled.  “Oh my god, yes when we left that party. Dude we were so wasted. I don't even know how you drove.”
“Anitah, seriously?” she waived him off.
“So did you get out of it?” Leo grinned.
“mmhmm, the cop that pulled us over took my license and seen my address.  He asked us what highschool we went to. Turns out his niece went there too and we were actually friends with her. He let us go.”
“Yeah after he told you to let someone else drive.” Alicia snorted, Anitah slapped her leg.
“oooh what about the time we snuck out to see nsync at the beach?”
Anita's face blushed bright red. “NO. Alicia.”
“Nope, spill Alicia. I want to know what kind of trouble my soon to be Queen was.” liam grinned, feeling tipsy.
“Well, we were in Atlantic city during summer vacation. Nsync was performing. My parents wouldn't let us go, but we scored tickets.”
Anitah looked at Alicia.  “I hate you so much right now.” She buried her head.
“Oh you act like you're the only one who was embarrassed. Anyway. So we snuck out and met up with a few guys we had met on the beach earlier in the week.” Alicia continued.
“kyle and Chris. They had a car and were hot.” Anitah added in.
" Anita!” Liam shouted giving her a stern look.
“Ok. So the four of us went to the concert. They had a convertible and some mad dog. We got drunk and ended up taking our shirts off down the highway. We pulled into a parking spot and we had a makeout session with the guys.  Only, we were in a parking lot of a casino.”
“Anitah! Seriously?” Liam shook his head, face reddening.
“oh god. Anitah buried her face even deeper.
“so. Clothing was coming off, things were heating up when we heard someone shout our names. Turns out my parents date night was at that casino and they were parked right in front of us.”
“Oh shit. How much trouble did you get into?” Leo grinned. “Leo!” Liam turned glaring at his brother who was clearly enjoying it.
“Oh that's not even the best part. they forced us out of the car, I tripped over the seatbelt and fell out on the ground,  boobs popping out of my bra. Anitah here, climbed out crying because she was so drunk and puked, all over my dad.”
“Anitah Elizabeth Brooks! That was horrible, irresponsible, reckless behavior.” Liam shook his head “Thank god you've outgrown that.”
Alicia busted out laughing, Anitah shooting her a warning look.
“So what did your parents do?” Leo said grabbing her attention.
“Oh. Well they didn't want to ground us because that would mean someone had to watch us. So, they made us wear full piece kiddie bathing suits the rest of the vacation, and my mom brought us long shorts and baggy tank tops. It was torture.” Alicia snorted.
Anitah placed her hand on Liam's thigh sliding it higher. “Anitah.” He groaned as her hand slid up his leg. “What my king?” she cooed as he leaned in kissing her.
“Im gonna get another drink.” Alicia stood up walking to the kitchen area. “I'll join you.” Leo stood following her. “scotch is gone, so is the jager and vodka.” she assessed the bottles on the counter. “Got anything else?” Leo walked over to the bar pulling out a bottle of gin.
“I can work with this, got any 7up?”
He shook his head “No, but i have a couple cans of lemon lime soda over here. She grabbed the cans tossing a few ice cubes in the glass, adding a few shots of gin, topping it off with some soda. She took a sip as Anita's shirt hit her feet. She looked over to see Anitah straddling Liam on the couch, his hands in her hair. She rolled her eyes. “How about some air?” Leo motioned to the balcony. “Get a room you two.” Leo shouted as he walked Alicia out onto the balcony.
He leaned up against the door frame, watching her as she leaned over the railing, loose strands of hair that fell out of her messy bun blowing in the nights breeze. She wore a pair of loose fitting sweat pants and a tank top, he had only known her for two days but he couldn't help but think how sexy she looked like that. “It's really beautiful, this view.” She broke the silence, looking straight forward. “Yeah, it is.” was he talking about the scenery or her?  He walked up joining her. “I spent most of my time running from here, from what was expected of me. But now.” He paused, looking out into the nights sky.
“Now what?” She turned her head to face him.  “I don't know? It's like, everything feels different. Better almost.”
“Did you really mean it when you said you'd take me out sightseeing tomorrow?”
“Yeah, I figure we get an early start.” She gave him a look. “ Ok semi early start.” he chuckled. “Maybe grab some breakfast.”
“Sounds good. Maybe we should go check on the two horn dogs.” she giggled.
They walked in, no sign of Anitah and Liam except her shirt. “Looks like they got a room.” she nudged him. “wanna watch some Tv?” He asked, not ready for her to leave yet. “Sure, as long as I get to pick.” she giggled running over grabbing the remote as she plopped down on the couch. She flipped through the channels until she found friends. “Ever watch this?” she asked. “a time or two.” He tossed himself down next to her. After a while she had leaned against him, making herself comfortable. Before he knew it she had fallen asleep. He laid her down,  careful not to wake her. He grabbed a blanket and pillow for her, shutting off the tv and went into his room, pulling off his shirt, and putting on a pair of pajama bottoms. He climbed into bed falling instantly asleep.
The next morning he woke up, He opened his eyes to a frock of brown hair in his face, his arm draped around her waist. Stunned as to how, or when she got there. He had left her on the couch, what was she doing in bed, with him. He carefully slid his arm off of her, she started to stir and then she rolled over. Her big Brown eyes locked on his bright blues. “Ah, good morning.” He cautiously said, not sure how she would react. She blinked a few times “Morning. How did, um what am I doing in your bed?”
“Good question.” He chuckled. “You fell asleep on the couch, I put a blanket over you and came in here. And I woke up, there you were.” they got out of the bed, and made their way to the kitchen Leo brewed a some coffee.
“I really don't know how I Ended up in your bed. I remember getting up to use the bathroom, and.” Her hand flew up over her face. “Oh god, I thought I was home, so I climbed into your bed. I am so sorry.”
“No, its ok I don't mind.” she gave him a questioning look. “not that I wanted to sleep with you. No, that came out wrong. I um, it was ok that you did, I just didn't want you to think I was trying to take advantage of you,  that's all.” He stumbled over his words smooth, real smooth Leo,  now she's going to think you're a creep.  “I don't think you'd take advantage of me. I climbed into your bed on my own." She gave him a look.
What was that look for? What did she mean by that? Did she want him to make a move, he was good at reading people, but when it came to her, his mind was cloudy.
A knock came at the door, Liam walked in. “papers are here, they think you're dating.”
Liam stopped dead in his tracks seeing Alicia sitting at the kitchen table. His head snapped over to Leo, anger written all over his face. “I didn't know you were still here Alicia. I wasn't interrupting anything was I?”
“Nope. I passed out on the couch.” liam took notice of the blanket and pillow. “I'm going to go shower and change, see you in about an hour?”
Leo nodded his head as she walked out.
“You're playing with fire here Leo. And she's the one whos going to get burned.” He tossed the papers on the table and left.

SnK S3E2 Poll Results (Manga Reader Version)
Tumblr media
The poll closed with 590 responses! Thank you to everyone who participated. 
Please note that this is the results of the manga reader poll. Anime only watchers are suggested not to read if you do not wish to be spoiled about certain events! Anime only viewers, click here to view your poll results! 
Rate the Episode
Tumblr media
The vast majority gave the episode their approval, with the largest percentage rating it a five.
Levi vs MP chase blew me away and I didn't remember rest of the show except Linked Horizon.
Animation blew me away and Kenny is better than I had imagined him in the manga.
They made Levi more bishy and badass at the same time. As expected of WIT. I find myself surprised at some of the changes and the new pacing, but I’m just here to enjoy this wild ride, so I’m open to anything. I can’t wait for Frieda to finally appear and confuse the fuck out of anime-onlies.
ep2 has already become my fav episode
It feels rushed. But I can only hope they make up for it later on.
I enjoyed it, especially the fight scene! A lot of things were missing from the manga, but I'm thinking they will be included in a different context. The ED was absolutely perfect! I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
It was super enjoyable in its own right even if I'm a bit skeptical of the changed pacing.
The animation in this episode was amazing!
Rate the Ending
Tumblr media
Respondents have agreed that the ending is a bop, with votes heavily favoring the positive. Feelings were much more mixed for the opening. We’re happy to see that most were at least satisfied with the ending!
I think it's the perfect mood for an ED. I'm really glad Historia got such a great focus; the OP focuses more on several characters an the ED on her.. I like it that way.
It's great! I love Red Swan so much and I'm happy with both songs!
Loved it a lot. You could immediately tell the signature Sounds Horizon influence, which is great. The song’s been stuck in my head for days. I also love the fact that the visuals are Historia-centric.
I don't think it should've been the opening per say......maybe with different visuals but I absolutely loved it. I'm glad that unlike the opening it didn't disappoint.
The Sasageyo in the middle caught me off guard lol
but like why did they have to make me feel so many emotions over that ending tho???
i'm literally in love with the ED it sounds like a fairy tale and i need the full version stat
the ed took me to nirvana
The ending was really beautiful. The animation with little Historia was beautiful because we will see more of Historia. Heck, this is her time to shine. This is her spotlight.
How do you feel about Linked Horizon performing the ending this time?
Tumblr media
The majority of respondents are happy that Linked Horizon is back this season, even if it’s the ending instead of the opening. A smaller percentage still wished they had done the opening instead, however.
Who Linked Horizon is?
I hope they perform the opening for the next arc
Ending or opening I wouldn't care. As long as we have Link Horizon.
I'm glad they are still sticking around but I'm still so upset the OP/ED were 100% from some romance high school anime.
Which one is your favorite ED?
Tumblr media
Do we as a fandom have a bias toward Linked Horizon? Quite possibly, as the new ending has already captured the hearts of the largest group. Great escape came in second, and Yuuguri no Tori remains the least liked ending of the series.
The new ending is beautiful. The scenario, music, how sad it is considering the recent events in the manga. Beautiful. I've to admit that I prefer by far the ending to the opening.
Which scene(s) did you like best?
Tumblr media
It goes without saying that the Levi vs. Kenny/MP chase is what blew away the fandom this week. It was the favorite scene by a huge margin. The runner up was Armin taking aim and shooting in order to save Jean’s life.
I've been waiting five years to see the bar scene, BANG! BANG!
not ashamed to admit I rewatched the Levi vs Kenny chase dozens of times
Favorite anime-only scene: Sasha saved Armin this time, i couldn't be happier for my girl. She ain't useless and definitely not a comic relief, i hope Isayama will do something in the future so that people appreciate &miss her more when 105 is animated.
Also, something I'm loving this season and doesn't receive enough credit is to hear Traute's voice. Her voice sounds so badass. Love it
The animation is so gorgeous and literally jaw dropping. I enjoy absorbing every single second of action. And seeing and hearing the scene of Jean almost being shot and Armin killing somehow has made me officially ship Jearmin.
On a scale of 1-5 how much did the animation during the Levi vs. MP chase blow you away?
Tumblr media
As expected, the animation left the majority of respondents in awe. It took one month for the animators to get in that 30 second sequence and it was so worth the efforts of the animation staff!
The Levi fight scene was breathtaking. Genius.
Best animation. Ever. Levi you awesome badass.
On a scale of 1-5, how daddy is Kenny?
Tumblr media
While a fair amount of voters wouldn’t let Kenny touch them with a 50 foot poll, a larger portion of voters agree that Kenny is daddy material.
I want Kenny to be my daddy :P
The only thing so far that is completely good is KENNY BANG BANG ACKERMAN! They're making a wonderful job with him and I hope the dudes from Wit studio won't turn him upside-down or change some important scenes. In the end... KENNY IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND COOL UNCLE/COWBOY ON EARTH. I'll always follow him
Kenny is even colder bastard than he was in the manga. I like him!
How did Erwin light the match with one hand?
Tumblr media
Will the mystery ever be solved? We don’t know, but the majority of voters are quite certain that Erwin’s chiseled jawline may have something to do with it!
How excited are you to see kidwin’s eyebrow game next week?
Tumblr media
61% of respondents are ready to see Kidwin moving and talking. Possibly also the heartbreak that will follow as we watch his backstory unfold. We’re pretty excited for small Erwin too!
Is your heart ready for Historia’s childhood flashback?
Tumblr media
The majority of voters are ready for Historia’s “not very happy” backstory to unfold in episode 40. Some are eager, some just think she’s cute as a button and others are ready for their hearts to hurt. About 12% of voters aren’t as enthused, however.
I hope we will finally see Frieda in the next one !
On a scale of 1 - 5, how much do you relate to Bartender-kun?
Tumblr media
I think we can almost all agree with the bartender when he says “EEEK!” It’s quite relatable really.
It took 4 years to finally see Bartender-kun in his moe glory and it was beautiful. 10 outta 10 would EEEEKK again.
EEK!
Would you want Levi as your motivational counselor?
Tumblr media
68% of you would appreciate Levi’s straightforward and blunt was of saying things in order to help you cope and sort things out. 32%, however, would prefer a more gentler approach.
Does Erwin have a gambling problem?
Tumblr media
68% of respondents agree that Erwin’s gambles are a positive thing! The thrill of it all is quite a ride for both the Survey Corps and the audience. We look forward to watching his gambles pan out in animated form soon!
How are you guys holding up?
Tumblr media
The largest group of voters are unsure about the changes and feel pretty sketchy toward WIT and Isayama for making and agreeing to the changes. However, a combined 50% of respondents overall are enjoying the anime so far, with 31% of those voters having a great time watching the events unfold in a new way. 8% of voters have already lost all hope at enjoying the adaptation.
Jokes aside, the pacing's still left me reeling a little. But I can see how this might make sense from the studio's perspective. If I was an anime-only, I think this episode would have THRILLED me. So yes, I am still invested in the anime and am looking forward to the rest of the season!
Thoughts withheld until we see how the rest of the arc is adapted
i thought it was really good! most manga readers disagree, but i have hope that important scenes will be included later, and we shouldn’t be so quick to judge only 2 eps. i think we should be grateful that the scenes they DID include followed the manga pretty well. i have faith in the changes isayama wanted to make, he is the creator after all. have hope yall!
How do you feel about the restructuring so far?
Tumblr media
We were quite surprised to find that 57% of respondents are still open to  the changes, looking to see what happens next before ultimately deciding if the anime is in good hands or not. A small 15% are excited for the changes, while another 15% are not feeling them at all. A very small percentage aren’t enjoying anything about the restructuring so far.
I'm really trying to enjoy the season and not judge too fast before seeing all of the arc, but damn WIT, Isayama, you guys are making it so hard, I'm hella confuse by the changes you're making
In my opinion, the change of pace is for the worse. I'm sad Isayama hates the arc this much, and that he agreed to many crucial character scenes being cut. I think the arc in the manga only felt slow because of waiting for the next monthly chapter.
I'm confused by all the changes but it's only episode 2 so I'm waiting for what's coming next. The animation is beautiful, Levi is beautiful (even with his shirt on) so I like it so far!
Still generally hyped about the season, but wary of the changes. A little bit disappointed about the cutting of the minor characters' (dimo, nifa) screentime/character moments. But I'm gonna wait with my judgement 'till the arc's over.
Character development will not be the same. Hopefully they can build up Armin’s and Erwin’s characters in time for RTS or nobody will care.
What best describes what you think about the missing scenes so far?
Tumblr media
While we’re all a bit sad to see some of our favorite scenes lost, the largest group of respondents have accepted that as a fact and are ready to just move forward. 26% are holding out hope that everything will be implemented one way or another. 13% of respondents are finding that the missing scenes are making it very difficult to enjoy anything about the season so far.
I literally want to fly to WIT Studio, go in banging a cowbell in everyone's ears until they put the cute scenes of titan eren and his dorky yet fine ass back in the anime.
I'm afraid that loosing some scenes now will take away more important ones later on. No Dimo telling Historia to give Levi a good punch. No Levi basically threatening Historia to take up the mantle of Queen. These interactions added depth to the characters. There's still time for them to include a few other things in flashbacks, but the changes have me a little on edge. Maybe it's just cognitive dissonance - I'll not write off WIT's and Isayama's restructuring efforts yet. But I will sit on my hands and bite my tongue when I ask my Anime-only friends about their thoughts on the pacing thus far.
the only thing I’m really upset they cut is the scene where Armin talks about how to manipulate the mass and everyone stares at him horrified, everyone’s bitching about the abs but the true loss is not seeing the horrifying expression Armin makes
Dimo's the real victim of the cuts here ;_;
My hype for this season died seeing how they are dealing with this arc
I think that people  complain too much about snk anime. Yes, some things are different and even some favourite scenes of mine where removed but overall this is still the best anime of the season, maybe even the year.
How do you feel about the scenes they did keep?
Tumblr media
A combined 63% of voters were satisfied with the scenes that we did still get and many of those believe WIT excelled at executing them. 29% thought the scenes were still alright, but lost some of the impact they had in the original work.
The animation of all of it is phenomenal, but all the scenes/events are jumbled in comparison to the manga. It has me like ?????
The whole bit with Jean being "shot" was better in the manga IMO
Again, as before I am not the Uprising Arc's biggest fan, but one thing I did enjoy was whenever the focus was on the 104th kids coming to terms with fighting humans, struggling with their own morality and the orders Levi was giving them. In the manga, this takes place over a longer period of them, so you really get to see Sasha, Jean and Connie question things and come to their own decision not to kill. By reordering things now, I feel that has completely lost its impact.
The scene at the end where the SC crew learns about rod reminds me a bit of the AT & CT reveal when the way in which the SC reacted to Reiner and Bertholdt possibly being titans was withheld from the viewer so I think that maybe thats what they might be going for this season in the sense that they will find a way to cram a lot of moments in flashbacks later.
Rushed. Scenes have less impact. I’m just thankful I’ve read the manga so I have the context of how bamf these things really are.
They removed way too many Dimo scenes which makes him a very different character to the anime canon. In the manga he was a good-hearted opportunist trying to avoid the deaths of himself and his comrades whereas in the anime this was watered down significantly. Also, #BringBackGesumin2018
I like the pacing but many scenes lost their impact, e.g. Reeves death, Armin's kill.
Where do you think Rod, Historia and Eren are right now?
Tumblr media
We definitely know they aren’t in the cave, but the largest group of voters aren’t even sure where to theorize they could be right now. Although there is a near tie between people who believe they are either at the ranch or the chapel. One commenter on the poll pointed out an area we hadn’t even considered, however: 
Because this option didn't show up in where Eren and Historia are: The Central MP Headquarters! The torture of Sannes was used as a way to find where Eren and Historia are, which is the original point of that mission. So there'd be a different, less redundant reason to go to the HQ in the first place! You can even add some missing scenes there.
How did you feel about the way the torture scene was handled?
Tumblr media
Most of us did believe that WIT would censor the torture sequence a bit, but the largest group are shocked at just how much of it wasn’t shown at all. Nearly one quarter of voters are disheartened that they didn’t show it all. Commenters are mourning Hange’s memorable line about which testicle Sannes wants to keep the most.
THEY REMOVED THE “WHICH TESTICLE DO YOU NOT NEED” LINE. BUT THE BALL-REMOVING INSTRUMENT WAS THERE. TALK ABOUT AN UNFULFILLING CHEKHOVS GUN.
They cut out Hange's best line
Even though i expected it would be a little bit censored, but wasn't thinking it would that much, they turned it into a joke, a humouristic torture...like seriously wit?
I'm upset because they removed Hange's best line.
Where was Levi punching?
It may've not been directly shown, but sometimes there's more horror in what you can’t see than in what you can
I expected it to be censored but it's ok, they managed to transmit the grotesque and black humorous feeling that the manga gave.
im sad about hange’s line not being included, but other than that, i thought it was really good, and i didnt expect them to be as brutal as the manga anyways. :/
Armin contemplates how they are torturing and killing people because they have different views. How does this relate to the current manga events?
Tumblr media
The majority of voters believe that this was a good foreshadowing for the events that have taken place much later in the manga. 17% of voters don’t feel that the situations are comparable, however.
Both sides are fighthing for their own good
Eh, that’s how human history has always been since time immemorial. It’s always people killing other people because of a difference in views and ideologies. Not saying that it should be tolerated, but everything is a case-by-case basis. Sometimes, you need to extinguish the enemy because the enemy alive is a far bigger threat to the world. That’s just how it is.
Everyone else is stuck in the mid-Uprising chapters while Armin is 57D pathsmancing his way to mid-Marley chapters
The uprising and ao Liberio aren’t comparable, but Armin is consistent through each
We didn’t get shirtless Levi, how are you feeling about it?
Tumblr media
39% of voters are sad about not getting treated to some eye candy this week, while 34% just don’t care about it at all. 15% were happy just to see Levi’s nice bara tiddies outlining his shirt, while 12% of you are still holding out hope for rock-hard abs.
I was robbed of the abs I was promised and am like... really pissed off? Sad? Bemusedly confused? I know in the grand scheme of things it shouldn't really matter that much but dang, it hurts.
It might just be the lesbian in me talking but I don’t care they didn’t show abswin and Levi shirtless lol
Levi is daddy af. Thanks for exploding my ovaries bc I didn't want children. Super convenient.
But Levi still looked badass tho
What about abswin?
Tumblr media
Similar to Levi, the largest groups of respondents either feel betrayed by WIT or don’t care about it. A larger portion than with Levi were completely satisfied simply by Erwin’s presence.
ABS ABS ABS!!!
Apparently this world doesn’t deserve Levi and Erwin’s abs... Looks like we’re not worthy of such a blessing.
I AM FEELING ABSOLUTELY BETRAYED BY THE LACK OF ABS I mean c'mon, WIT, you can't give me, a grown adult, just an angsty adolescent's steaming abs (from the Titan tyvm) and expect me to be satisfied with that.
The Ackerman reveal was handled a bit differently, with Kenny telling Traute about how he raised Levi instead of telling Dimo he is his pride. How do you feel about the change?
Tumblr media
The majority of voters believe that the small change in the Ackerman reveal wasn’t a big deal. However, a pretty sizable portion do believe that the weight of the reveal was lost, with many commenters lamenting the loss of Kenny saying that Levi is his pride.
I think we'll have more impactful Acerkreveal to come when Levi and Mikasa talk. *nervous chucking*
Levi being an Ackerman is the less secret thing anyway, the way it's reveals hardly matter
Most of the fandom read some good ol fanfic, i'd be surprised if like 95% of the people watching it didn't know he was an Ackerman (or just log in to tumblr)
Lol so many anime-only reactors didn’t even notice the Ackerman name-drop so WIT pretty much failed at that. And it’s okay for fans to feel disappointed with the anime. We’re not **obligated** to think it’s amazing especially if we think there are parts of it that weren’t adapted well.
I expect another encounter between Kenny and Levi that leads to the talk about Levi being Kenny's pride, probably directed to Rod instead. This scene, on the other hand, worked as a wonderful namedrop and setup for a second encounter.
I love how he called Levi his pride in the manga so i’m very sad they changed it, it made Kenny’s death even more emotional.
It flew right past me oops
Levi threatening Historia didn't happen, breaking the chain of events that builds up to her punching him later. What best describes your thoughts?
Tumblr media
It’s probably safe to say that many of us are raising questions about the loss of this scene and how WIT will make up for it or whether it was truly needed in the first place. 39% believe that WIT will still work it in somehow, while the majority believe that the scene is lost forever, with split opinions about whether WIT will make up for it in another way or whether their faith in Historia and Levi’s arcs is shattered forever.
The only thing I'm keeping my eyes on is anything related to Historia and her future step up as queen.  I'm sure she'll learn that she is royal next episode via her father, so I wonder if eventually deciding to take rule in place of her hidden relatives and corrupt government, will actually end up being her idea, which could explain why Levi's altercation with her was removed.  That would be really interesting and I think it could work out just as well!  I always thought his anger toward her was a little too sudden and misplaced in the manga, anyway, and if it's removed for good, I'm glad we don't have to live through that controversy again.
I’m kinda disappointed that they didn’t include Dimo Reeves’s redemption arc. It was very essential to Historia & Levi’s character. Maybe I’m worrying over nothing & instead Fligel will replace Dimo in that role, but Eren & Historia were already captured so I’m not sure how they intend to go about rewriting Historia & Levi’s character progression. However, the production team & Isayama do seem to understand how important character development is for this arc, so maybe they’re finding different ways to make it better in ways we didn’t even realize were possible. Maybe by the end we’ll all say “Wow! This was handled a million times better than in the manga!” But right now, it just seems like Isayama had a negative bias towards this arc & was only so accepting of the changes cause he just thought of the Uprising Arc as his worst piece of work to date despite it being the most important for character development & plot progression. I hope I am wrong though.
Which group of characters are your favorite?
Tumblr media
Where do you primarily discuss the series?
Tumblr media
I discuss the series in Facebook, dunno why you don't have that option :/
Additional thoughts on the episode?
Isayama reacting to S3 complaints: “Am I out of touch? No, it's the manga readers who are wrong.”
BUT NO FLEGEL QUESTION IN THE POLL!!!?!?!?!? THAT'S IT!!(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ I'm actually not going to do anything about it though. but still. Flegel is best boy.
I’m blown away by the animation!  I’m kind of enjoying guessing what might happen next and what other changes they’re going to make.  I still have faith that WIT and Isayama will deliver an amazing season three - holding out for more episodes until I lose my mind about changes.  It’s super entertaining so far.
I am aware that a 100% adaptation of the manga is impossible and I'm usually not bothered by it. However, I'm slowly getting nervous that too much could get lost and that those fans who want an accurate adaptation will get too frustrated with it to continue. I really hope WIT has a plan here and listens to the fans.
I really, really, really wanted Kenny to say that he was proud of Levi. It was really bittersweet. I hope WIT puts it later on when Kenny is about to die and hopefully he tells it to Levi straight up. But I’m not gonna lie, Levi never knowing that his “father figure” was proud of him all this time puts a tragic and beautiful twist to their relationship. There’s always been something sublime about unexpressed emotions that will forever be hidden because death claimed it first.
I feel like they're sacrificing character interactions and developments for the sake of pacing and action.  
I know lots of people are saying that everyone should chill before jumping to conclusions, but as far as I’m concerned all our opinions - mine included, as well as the opinions of those who are dissatisfied with the episode - are valid. And in my opinion, there was so much that the anime skipped. Sure, they were just small details. But it were these details that enriched the story. I trust Isayama, but at the end of the day, he too errs. He too commits mistakes. I don’t know, but if I feel overly dissatisfied with the adaptation even after the season is over, and in my defense am able to bring up valid reasons why I didn’t like it, then so be it.
It's a shame Dimo got reduced to such a minor character.
I felt a bit sorry for the girl who was killed by Armin. I didn't pay attention on her in the manga but in Armin's flashbacks she was more human. It was the proof that even such cold monsters like anti-human squad members have some heart.
I love it so far but Levi and Erwin need more love and they'll get it if they are shirtless and have moar scenes
Traute made me gay.
Ackerman bastards! How they can violate chairs like that?! Right now I can trust only Mikasa with my poor chair babies <3
everyone is like 'where are the abs' while my lesbian ass is sad about no gesumin smh
Thanks to everyone who participated! We’ll see you again on Monday!

Meet Me in the Courtyard: Part 12 (THE END!)
Summary: Gold and Belle both want to take their relationship to the next level, but are afraid to say so. And then there’s a happy ending for all.  The Fic: Belle hosts a monthly movie night in Storybrooke, always leaving the seat next to her empty. Gold loathes movies, yet movie night at the library is the one community event even he can’t seem to resist.  A/N: Guys, I finished a thing! This fic began as a one-shot for @a-monthly-rumbelling and grew into this 12-chapter story. MMitC  must end as it began, so written for the July AMR “I’m so sorry I’m late.” Many thanks to @galactic-pirates for helping me work through the end, and thanks to all of you for the comments, kudos, reblogs, and prompts. You kept me writing and I’m grateful. Rating: E overall; chapter T
{On AO3} Previous parts: Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 |  Chapter 4  |  Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7  | Chapter 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 | Chapter 11
Belle’s yawn turned into a groan when Rumple tugged on his leash and whined for her to pick up the pace.
She and Gold were taking the puppy on his daily early morning walk around Gold’s neighborhood, a routine they had started after coming home from New York. Little Rumple’s strides were short but enthusiastic, and as Belle walk-skipped down the quiet street to keep up with his stubby little legs, she wondered who was walking whom.
While the sun climbed above the trees, Gold strolled beside her in an unhurried, loose-hipped gait and Belle admired his easy grace. Even balancing a cane to support his bad knee, he had no trouble keeping up with Rumple.
He must have noticed her struggle because he eased the leash out of her hand and slowed Rumple to a sedate trot with a quiet whistle. Belle smiled at how deftly her love handled the puppy. This dog had no doubts about who kept his bowl full of kibble.
“So karaoke night was fun,” Belle said. A breeze rustled the trees and she huddled deeper into her borrowed sweatshirt then tucked her arm into Gold’s with a shiver.  
“It was,” Gold agreed, pressing a hand against her back to guide her across the street on their usual route toward the dog park. “Because we weren’t the ones with beer-soaked microphones in our faces.”
“Oh hush,” she teased, giving him a light smack on the arm with her free hand. “You have a wonderful voice. Ruby and Archie sound like they could audition for one of those vocal talent shows, and even Emma and Neal held their own. Me? When I sing, I sound like I’m shrieking from the inside of a tin can.”
“Sweetheart, don’t sell yourself short,” he said with a heated glance. “You know how partial I am to the sound of your shrieking.”
The warmth in his eyes made her blush. She had screamed for him not an hour ago when she’d awoken with his mouth on her breasts and his hands caressing the insides of her thighs.
She was in the best relationship of her life and happier than anyone had a right to be, but something was bothering her. A longing had crawled beneath her skin, one she couldn’t seem to shake off. Since last night’s conversation at the Rabbit Hole with Emma and Neal, all she could think about was having Gold’s baby. After seeing the crestfallen look on his face when he found out he wasn’t going to be a grandfather after all, the flash of an idea had bloomed into a full-blown fantasy. Suddenly, she couldn’t contain the wild image of the two of them pushing a stroller carrying their own baby while Rumple trotted proudly at their side. In her mind’s eye, she saw a baby boy, one with his father’s beautiful dark eyes and thick brown hair. Although she knew she would love a daughter just as much.
Belle had always imagined children somewhere in her future, as long as the right partner came into her life. Will certainly hadn’t been the one, and neither had any of the other guys she dated through the years. Gold was different. Besides the fact that she was crazy in love with him, there had been this softness, a reverence in his voice when he spoke last night about the possibility of a child. It was the same soft-spoken tenderness she’d heard when he asked her about birth control in the taxi.
In the time they’d spent together, she’d seen that Gold was an excellent father. Despite Neal’s decisions to drop out of college, sleep till noon every day, and play video games, Gold exhibited a quiet patience with his son, never pushing him to make decisions before he was ready. Neal’s choice to stay in his father’s home spoke volumes, and last night proved they could make the best of their differences. And even though Gold had sworn Neal’s wanderlust meant he would never settle in Storybrooke, Gold had remarked more than once about how much his son loved Emma.
She suspected no one but she and Neal knew how soft Gold’s heart truly was.
Belle worried her lower lip, trying not to look too far around the bend at what the future might hold. She’d wanted a relationship with Gold for months, but maybe his feelings weren’t moving along at the same brisk pace. Three weeks of commitment wasn’t long, and there was no harm in enjoying the day-to-day. Besides, Gold had made her no promises and she wasn’t going to start making demands.
But might Gold want a child with her someday? It was definitely an idea worth exploring in time.
“Rumple seems content.” Belle smiled at the jaunty wag of the puppy’s tail and set aside her wistful thoughts. “You’ve obviously been taking good care of him since you made the adoption official.”
Gold slackened the leash while the puppy rounded a tree, sniffed the base of the trunk with an enthusiastic bark, and lifted his leg.
“You’ve done more than your share to care for him and he’s at least as fond of you as he is me.” He shook his head at the little brown pup. “Rascal keeps trying to take my spot in bed. I went to the bathroom during the night and when I got back he was on my pillow. Have you been hiding pepperoni snacks in your pajamas to lure him in?”
Rumple turned around and whimpered at the mention of his favorite treat. “No,” Gold admonished the pup. “You get your treat later.”
Belle laughed at the mutinous expression on Rumple’s tiny face then turned to Gold with a pretend pout. “I don’t wear pajamas when I sleep in your bed. I barely sleep at all when I’m in your bed. You’ve been keeping me awake and it’s caused me a few embarrassing moments at work.”
“Tell me more.” Gold grinned, his gold tooth flashing in the morning sunlight.
“You’re incorrigible.” Belle shook her head. “Yesterday morning, I spilled my coffee all over a new boxed set of the Anne of Green Gables series. And after lunch I insisted to Mayor Mills that the heroine of Pride and Prejudice is Emma Woodhouse. She was not impressed.”
“Still an Austen character,” he pointed out graciously.
“I’m a librarian,” she complained. “I can’t afford those types of careless errors.”
She smoothed her free hand over yesterday’s skirt and sighed. Her clipped words were making it sound like she wasn’t happy with their arrangement, which wasn’t true at all. She was confused. Confused and caffeine-starved.
“Fair point.” Gold looked over her wrinkled clothing and frowned. It made no difference to him if Belle wore the same clothes home that she’d arrived in and he loved seeing her in his sweatshirt, but her lack of permanence in his home made him feel restless and agitated. Last week, she’d brought a toothbrush to keep in his bathroom, but when she wasn’t there, it was the only sign she had been in the house. The rest of her clothing and belongings were still at her apartment.
He didn’t want her going back to her apartment to shower and dress. He didn’t want her to leave at all, but he was still working out how to ask for more. He looked down at the sidewalk, counting the cracks in the pavement as they walked. What if she wasn’t ready to take their relationship to the next level?
“Why don’t you?” he asked.
“Why don’t I what?”
“Bring pajamas?”
She raised her shapely eyebrows then looked down at their linked arms. “I guess I didn’t want to break the spell. As long as we were taking this day-by-day and I wasn’t presuming…” she trailed off.
“Nothing presumptuous about pajamas.” He barked a nervous laugh and focused his attention on the swish of Rumple’s little tail as they walked, suddenly afraid to meet her eyes.
“I suppose you’re right,” she said after a moment.
“Then maybe you should keep some things at my house?” he continued. “Clothes, shoes, books? I can empty some drawers for you. Then you can relax. Maybe even get some sleep some nights. We could have breakfast together and you could leave for work from my house instead of making an extra stop.”
He tightened his fingers around the head of his cane and chanced a sideways glance at her.
“Sounds sensible,” she said.
Her brow was furrowed, the confusion on her face mimicking his own feelings. It wasn’t enough. The woman walking next to him was his whole world. He didn’t want to simply make space for her in his dresser; he wanted it to be their dresser, their closet, their bed.
He had to be brave, he reasoned. Even if they weren’t yet in the same place, he wouldn’t spoil things by being a step or two ahead. Hope didn’t come naturally to him but Belle’s sweet, forgiving spirit made it easy to look to the future.
“Come here,” he said, drawing her close. She snuggled against his side with a little sigh, their thighs brushing together while they walked. He took a deep breath and tried again. “What would you think about making a change to your address? Letting go of your place and bringing all your things to mine?”
He felt her mouth open against his shoulder and she pulled away.
A delighted smile spread across her face and she stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and clasped her hands together. “Are you asking me to move in with you?”
He grinned at her like a fool, the tension in his body melting at her obvious pleasure. “Not very articulately, but yes. Bad idea?”
“Branan Gold, this is the absolute best idea you’ve had since you decided to walk around your hotel room in a towel!”
“Is that a yes?” he asked, grinning like an even bigger fool.
“Yes!” She hopped up and down in the middle of Maple Street and grabbed his hands. “Yes, I would love to move in with you. When?”
The excitement in her tone sent a thrill up his spine. He’d been so nervous about getting ahead of himself, but his burst of bravery had paid off. Belle was ready to take this next step too, and there was no reason to pretend or to wait.
He took another deep breath, claiming his courage once more. “How about we go get some of your belongings today? I love you, Belle. I want to be with you always.”
A tear trickled down her cheek and she threw her arms around his neck with a small sob, then pulled back to stroke her fingers through his hair. “I want it, too. I’ve known since New York. Well, way before New York. But I didn’t want to presume.”
“There’s that word again.” He laughed and kissed her nose. “Oh, my love. If you hadn’t ‘presumed’ by running after me during the movie night at the beginning of the summer, none of this would ever have happened. I’d still be standing in the middle of the street behind the rows of chairs, watching the most beautiful librarian in the world from behind a tree.”
“And I’d still be leaving the seat next to me empty, waiting for my dashing leading man to join me for a movie,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.
“That wouldn’t make for a very happy ending,” he murmured against her mouth.
“I’m far more partial to happy beginnings,” she said, parting her lips for his kiss.
Nine Months Later
Nursing a lukewarm cup of strawberry lemonade, Belle scanned the crowded library courtyard and the parking lot beyond on tiptoe.
“Relax, sweetheart,” Gold murmured, coming up behind her to wrap his arms around her thickening waistline. “Archie drives like a demon. They’ll be here on time.”
“You’re right,” Belle said, leaning back against his chest with a deep breath. At seven months pregnant, she could blame at least part of her jitters on hormones. “ You’d think a mild-mannered, soft-spoken shrink would be a sedate driver, but he has a lead foot for sure.”
Gold splayed his hands over her baby bump and their little one delivered a swift, hard kick to her ribcage. “Our boy is strong,” he said, pride lacing his words.
“And hungry,” Belle replied, watching carts filled with cotton candy, popcorn, and roasted pecans roll by. “Can I get some popcorn now?”
“Of course, love. I’ll be right back.”  
She beamed at him as he picked his way through the crowd to the popcorn cart. He’d been amazing throughout her pregnancy, from the day she’d wrung her hands waiting for multiple test results to last night when she’d sent him to the store at midnight because they’d run out of Cocoa Pebbles cereal.
May had arrived in Storybrooke, heralded by warm breezes off the sea and the bright, citrusy scent of magnolia blossoms. And tonight, the familiar spring scents blended with the buttery aroma of fresh popcorn, tickling her nostrils. In a few short minutes, Belle would introduce the last summer of movies in the library courtyard, and she was equal parts excitement and nostalgia: Gold had donated a huge tract of land to the library and next week, Storybrooke would break ground on its very own drive-in movie theatre. By next spring, they would be watching double features from their cars and lawn chairs.
Ending the event’s run was bittersweet for many reasons—not the least of which was that she’d created the movie nights partly as a way to draw out Gold. But as she watched the extra rows of chairs fill up, she had to admit the town had outgrown projecting films onto the side of the library wall. No one was happier than she was about the success of her little courtyard movie project, though, and Storybrooke getting an outdoor big screen was something to cheer about.
“I’m so sorry I’m late!”
Ruby sprinted across the courtyard in her lucky stiletto-heeled red leather boots, and Belle set her cup of lemonade on a bench. “You’re not late, sweetie!” She opened her arms with a squeal. “How did it go?”
“I did it, Belles!” Ruby embraced her as she panted, out of breath from her run. “I passed my last final! Top of the class!”
“I knew all your studying and hard work would pay off.”  Last September, Ruby had enrolled in a cosmetology school in Augusta. The town was a forty-five-minute drive from Storybrooke and her last exam of the term had been this morning.
“Congratulations.” Gold handed Belle a bucket of popcorn and a fresh drink, then turned to Ruby with a smirk. “Was running the 100-yard dash across a field in ridiculous footwear part of the examination?”
“Suck it, Gold.” Laughing, Ruby stuck out her tongue. “I’m brilliant. And cool.”
“As if you’d let me forget,” he teased.
Archie arrived, his eyes bright with happiness, and wrapped his arms around Ruby. “She talked a mile a minute the entire way here. Couldn’t even wait for me to park the car. She opened the door and jumped out while we were still moving!”
Ruby elbowed Archie in the ribs. “I was excited!”
“Ya think?”
“It’s all thanks to you guys that I applied to beauty school in the first place,” Ruby said. “I’m not ashamed to work at the diner or anything, but I always felt I was meant for something different, you know?”
“You’re incredibly talented, Rubes.” Belle beamed, beyond happy Ruby had found her calling and was learning to do work she loved.
Gold and Archie stepped a few feet away, launching into their own conversation.
“Belles, you look amazing tonight.” Ruby gave her airy, tie-front yellow jumpsuit an approving nod. “I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy, the news of the drive-in, or the conditioner I started using on your hair, but you’re glowing, girl!”
“Finally it’s my turn!” Belle said with a laugh. “I had to get pregnant to steal a compliment from Gold.”
“Well, he is my favorite,” Ruby said with a wink. “Think he’ll let me highlight his hair for the summer?”
Belle squinted at Gold, trying to imagine his brown, shoulder-length mane shot through with blonde streaks. “You never know.”
“Do you have it?” Gold asked Archie, watching Belle and Ruby link arms and walk toward the concession stand in search of hot dogs.
“In my pocket.” Archie patted the side of his trousers. “You?”
“Aye.”
Holding Belle’s abandoned popcorn, Gold led the way to the picnic tables and Archie followed, grabbing a handful of napkins for dinner. “Think they suspect?”
“It’s hard to say, but I don’t think so,” he said, choosing a table. He sat down and took a handful of popcorn, then tilted the box toward Archie. “Belle’s rather distracted by the pregnancy.”
“And Ruby’s exams have taken over.” Archie sat down beside him and did a double take. “Are you eating popcorn?”
Gold chewed another fluffy kernel. Thanks to Belle and hours of talking with Archie, the events surrounding his separation from Milah all those years ago were a distant memory. He no longer hated movies or popcorn. “This stuff isn’t half bad when it’s fresh. Besides, my psychiatrist said replacing bad memories with positive ones would help with my personal growth.”
So much had changed in the past year. His relationship with Neal grew stronger by the day and Emma spent so much time at the house that he and Belle thought of her as a daughter. Bored with sitting at home playing video games, Neal had decided to put his charm and charisma to good use and was working on getting his real estate license. He and Emma were making plans to move in together, and Gold hoped they would marry soon. Emma’s strength and independence were good for his boy.
And he was going to be a father again. The week after Belle moved in, Ashley Boyd knocked on the door to plead with Belle to babysit her six-month-old daughter, Alexandra. Between misinterpreting Emma and Neal’s news on karaoke night and watching the love of his life coo and rock a gorgeous, gurgling little pink bundle, he was a goner. After Ashley collected the baby, he asked Belle to forget everything he’d said in New York about not being ready for children. To his delight, she agreed without hesitation. Two months and six positive pregnancy tests later, they were expecting their son in October.
Tonight he was taking another giant step in making them a family by asking Belle to be his wife.
As it happened, Archie had decided to ask Ruby to marry him as well. Gold had a partner for ring-shopping and a built-in best man for his wedding, and they’d both decided to pop the question tonight. He couldn’t think of anyone he’d like to share this experience with more than his best friend.
“Way to turn a corner, Gold. I’m proud of you.” Archie pushed his glasses up and grinned and Gold knew he was talking about far more than his new affinity for popcorn.
“Fishing tomorrow?” Archie asked.
“Sounds grand,” Gold said. “Perhaps we can take the ladies out for a celebratory brunch afterward, assuming there’s something to celebrate.”
“And here I was going to suggest a double wedding.” Archie snorted. “Pessimist.”
“Old habits die hard, I suppose.” Gold thwacked Archie on the back while Belle and Ruby moved in their direction, each bearing trays loaded with hot dogs and onion rings. “I’ll get the drinks.”
He traipsed back to the concession stand and joined the line.
“Hello, darling.”
Gold gritted his teeth and flexed his fingers around the head of his cane. God help him, he would know that exaggerated English drawl anywhere.
“Carolina.” He spun around, baring his teeth in a mocking grin. “Thought I smelled a whiff of desperation and gin. What the hell are you doing here?”
She threw her ever-present fur stole over her shoulder and simpered. “I love a good movie as much as the next girl. Aren’t you going to kiss me hello?”
Gold took a step back. “I meant what are you doing here? In my town.”
“Your town is my town, Gold,” she retorted with a sly smile.
“Excuse me?” Baffled, he stared at her. She couldn’t mean? Could she?
She stared at her nails. “Not like it’s any of your business, darling, but I’m moving here to Bookville.”
“It’s Storybrooke.”
She waved her manicured hand. “Details, darling. Always getting in the way of what’s important, don’t you agree?”
“Details make the world go round, darling .”
Carolina pursed her lips. “Well if you must know, I’ve met someone. A fellow animal lover called Ursula. We’ve decided to open up a shop selling luxury furs. Mink, raccoon, muskrat, beaver, that sort of thing.”
“How enterprising,” he sneered. “And what gave you the brilliant idea to give up your profitable operation in Great Neck to grace our tiny Podunk town with your illustrious presence?”
She pouted. “You’re not going to be sore and hold all my silly comments in New York against me, are you, Gold? It was your Belle who convinced me I could be happy here.”
He frowned, more snarky words on the tip of his tongue, but the lines bracketing his old rival’s mouth were deep and harsh. She looked tired and he almost felt sorry for her. “Belle did?”
“Yes, the night we met for dinner in the city. She told me you were making friends here.” Carolina’s smooth smile faltered. “I figured if you could find love and friendship and be happy, there was a chance for me, too?”
“Of course there is,” he agreed, unable to believe he was welcoming Carolina de Vil to Storybrooke, of all people.
She laid a hand on his arm. “Such a charming, delightful creature, your Belle. You’re a lucky bastard.”
“Well at least we agree on that,” he said, making a mental note to keep Rumple and Pongo far, far away from Carolina and her penchant for furs.
“Congratulations on the pregnancy, by the way.” She elbowed him in the stomach. “Didn’t think you had it in you, Gold, but thank God you do. I’ve always wanted to be an aunt.”
She spun away before he could reply, her sequined dress glittering in the dimming evening light.
Gold breathed a long-suffering sigh as she walked away. Considering he and Belle were only children, their son was shaping up to have more aunts and uncles than an offspring of the Walton family.  
“How about over here?” Gold asked, slipping into a chair and patting the seat beside him.
“In the back row?” Belle whispered, lowering herself into the aisle seat. “What mischief do you have in mind, Mr. Gold?”
“None at all, Miss French.” He brushed her lips with his. “But if we sit back here we can talk without disturbing others.”
She gave him a flirtatious frown. “Talk during the movie? Why? Are you not excited about a summer full of baby movies? After this we have Baby Boom , Boss Baby, and Look Who’s Talking.”
“Really?” his eyes widened.
“No, darling.” She sighed. “I’m pregnant, not crazy.”
“I’m sure all the movies you’ve chosen are wonderful, sweetheart,” he soothed. “But I’ll be much too busy admiring you to notice anything on the screen.”
“Flatterer,” she huffed, putting her hands on her hips. “You’re just making excuses not to pay attention.”
“Perhaps this’ll help?” He shook a box of Raisinettes in her face.
“Oh, thank God. I’m ravenous.” She seized the bright yellow box with a groan. She’d already polished off a Chicago-style hot dog, onion rings, a large soda, and a bucket of popcorn. “I swear this baby wants to eat every fifteen minutes.”
The movie began, and Belle heard a happy squeal from the bushes behind her. She turned around to see Ruby bouncing up and down, her hands covering her cheeks before she threw her arms around Archie and cried, “Yes!”
“What are they doing?” she asked, starting to stand up and go see what all the commotion was about. The way Archie had jumped up from his knees was suspicious. “That looked an awful lot like a marriage proposal. Are they? Did Archie?”
“Never mind them!” Gold yanked on her arm and dragged her back into her chair. “There’s that Tom Selleck fellow you love, Belle. I need to you to talk me through the film; you know I won’t follow along without your help.” He stared up at the screen, unusually interested in the movie. “What are we watching again?”
“But Ruby-”
“Sweetheart.” He was still holding onto her arm, his grip light but desperate. “Please?”
She narrowed her eyes. “ You’re trying to distract me, but I’ll answer you anyway,” she whispered. “Three Men and a Baby. It’s an eighties classic.”
He gave her a tender smile. “I noticed Leroy talking to you during dinner. He still tossing out baby names at you? What was it this time? Adelbert? Cristobal?”
Belle frowned, trying to remember. “No, this one started with an ‘R.’ Rodrigo, Rufio...something like that. But I bribed him to stop with the uncle thing.”
“Leroy, too?” Gold shook his head. “Neal, Emma, Ruby, Archie, Astrid, Carolina, Leroy. The number of aunts and uncles this child has is only surpassed by the number of people claiming responsibility for the success of our relationship.”
She hummed. “A child can never have too much love. Besides, everyone knows you are one thousand percent responsible for the success of our relationship.”
“Lies.” He drew her head onto his shoulder and caressed her baby bump. “So what would you think about becoming Mrs. Gold again?”
“Like in New York?” She fished into the box for another Raisinette and popped it into her mouth, chewing furiously to cover her racing heart. His tone was casual. Too casual. Was this it? He’d bandied the word marriage about for months, but he hadn’t come out and asked. She held her breath, waiting.
He shrugged. “Like New York, yes, but I had something a bit more permanent in mind.”
“Permanent?” she squeaked, tightening her hands around the box of candy.
Oh, but his nonchalance was making her crazy!
“Isn’t this how the best movies go?” he asked. “The happy ending features some sort of callback to previous events.”
“Happy beginning,” she said automatically. She lifted her head from his shoulder, a smile spreading across her face. This was it and it was perfect. She blinked rapidly fighting back the happy tears. Oh, how she loved him.
“Happy beginning, I stand corrected.” His lopsided grin made her stomach flip over. “If being Mrs. Gold doesn’t suit, I could make a change to my name. I’m not fussy.”
“Would you like to be Mr. French?” she teased, playing along.
“I could be persuaded,” he said against her ear. The warm, husky timbre of his voice sent a pleasant shiver down her spine.
“Belle Gold has a lovely ring to it, though,” she said. “We could both have the initials BG.”
“Ideal for the monogrammed His and Hers towel set I already have on order.”
She giggled and he extended his index finger. The light from the movie screen illuminated his hand, and on it dangled a stunning diamond solitaire ring. The band was fashioned of rose gold and delicate rosebuds were etched into the metal all the way around. It was the perfect blend of modern and vintage, and exactly what she would have chosen for herself.
“Are you asking me to marry you?” she asked, her breath catching in her throat. Saying it out loud somehow made it more real.
“Not very articulately, but yes. Bad idea?”
“Oh, Branan.” Overwhelmed, she took the ring off his finger with shaking hands and somehow found her ring finger. The ring slid into place, its cool weight feeling as much like home as the man sitting next to her. “Best idea yet.”
“Better than wearing the towel?”
She grinned at him through her tears. “Let’s call it a tie.”

A Part of The Team: Part 2
Bycky x Reader
Part 2
Based off (Request: Hello! Would you mind doing a oneshot where Bucky and Reader just got married and he becomes more protective of her and sweeter and clingier and his team mates tease him about it ? 😅)
Warnings: Bad language word
Words: 1525
Bucky was extremely lucky and damn, if he didn’t know it. On one hand, he had an amazing wife that he was proud of in both her passion and her strength, but part of him, she would be ashamed to know, was so thankful that there wasn’t a mission that could take her away from him.
It had been four whole months and not a single global catastrophe. Small missions sure, but nothing Steve or Tony couldn’t take on single handedly. So, in the meantime, Bucky took every second of Y/Ns presence as a blessing. He always had really, but ever since her last mission, he couldn’t shake his underlying fear. He wanted a future with this woman that just being married didn’t guarantee, not in this job, but nevertheless, he wanted one.
He wanted the sweet, little 3-bedroom house outside of the city where they could raise their two children, one boy, one girl. Hopefully as beautiful as his beautiful wife.
So, four months for her to heal, to get back on her feet, was an utter miracle and Bucky would thank whomever he needed to for making it happen.
“You’re lost in thought again, Mr. Barnes.” Y/Ns melodic voice soothed from his right.
He turned his head to see you on your side in the bed, facing him, with your hands tucked up under your head. You smelled of lavender. How did you always smell of lavender?
Bucky removed his hands from under his own head and turned to face you. “I have a lot to think about.”
“Oh, do you? That’s uncharacteristic.” You chuckled.
Bucky gaze turned slightly predatory at the tiny jab and, in an instant, he was on top of you, tickling your sides, making you giggle in that way of yours that drove him mad.
“You’re going to regret your words, Mrs. Barnes.” He warned, then leaned down to pepper kisses along your neck before sucking on the sweet skin.
“Not likely.” You snickered between your moans.
He released your now, sensitive skin, and trailed his kisses up your jaw to your lips. They were chapped after a night of sleeping, but you loved it. Then, he parted them further and slipped his silky, soft tongue in to caress your own.
The two of you bounded down the stairs, hand-in-hand and smiling, to go meet your friends for breakfast.
“Oh God, they’re glowing.” You heard Steve, breaking your trance, and snapping your head in his direction.
“Glowing how?” Nat questioned with a squint in her eye.
“You know Nat, glowing…In a sexual manner.” He finished with a whisper.
“Steve said ‘sexual!’” Tony pipped up as he entered the kitchen from behind you.
“Shut the fuck up Tony!”
“Dear God, we are just letting all the wild animals out of their cages today, huh Capsicle?”
“What can I say? You just bring it out in me.” Steve grumbled into his coffee cup.
Tony looked to you with a look of fabricated adoration. “He always knows what to saw to just melt my heart.” Then, he continued his strut over to the refrigerator to pull out a carton of eggs, but you knew about three minutes later he would decide he was too lazy to actually cook and settle for some cereal instead.
He moved to put them back sooner than you thought, but you stopped him.
“Keep the eggs out, Tony.” You said, walking over to him, taking the carton as he held them out for you.
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Bucky followed close behind and wrapped his arms around your waist as you removed some eggs. He kissed your exposed shoulder.
“Eggs?” You questioned.
“Sure.”
He kissed your cheek and released you so you could prepare breakfast and moved to sit by Steve at the island counter.
“You two are awfully lovey this morning.” The blond man smirked, but Bucky was not in the mood for his friends jokes. So instead, he changed the subject to benefit his own teasing.
“How’s Sharon?” Bucky smiled, a little too mischievously.
Steve had developed some serious feelings for the woman after their shared kiss, but he didn’t know how to handle it exactly, so his best tactic was to avoid the issue altogether until he had no choice but to face her again.
“Well, that is certainly hitting a man below his sensitive, super soldier belt.”
Bucky said nothing, waiting patiently for a reasonable answer. Steve only rolled his eyes and huffed.
“I’m working on it.”
Bucky smiled and grasped his friends shoulder, giving it a light squeeze.
“I’m sure you’ll get there.” Bucky smirked, just as you set a plate of eggs down in front of him. You pulled up the chair and sat yourself down, so you could join the conversation, but more importantly, eat. You were starving after your morning with Bucky.
Just as you were reaching for your fork to dive into the fluffy eggs, your husband grabbed your hand in his. You smiled at him and he smiled back before you began to wiggle your fingers out of his clench, but he only gripped harder.
“Nope.” He said, oddly serious.
“What?”
“This hand is mine.”
“How am I supposed to eat my food?”
“Use your other one.”
You puffed out a little breath that caused a strand of hair to float away from your face. “But, I want to use this hand.”
“Sorry doll, but that really isn’t my problem.”
“We are married dear, I thought my problems are your problems.”
“That’s debatable.” He said with that annoying, smug look on his face that only ever reminded you of why you fell in love with him in the first place.
“Ok, how about this?” He raised an eyebrow at your question, assuming there wasn’t a damn thing you could say to make him let go of you. “If you don’t let go of my hand, then I won’t do that thing you like for an entire month.”
Instantly, his eyebrow dropped back into place and his lips parted in a slight shock. “You wouldn’t.”
“I would.”
It took all of one second for him to drop your hand so fast it nearly jerked from its socket towards the floor. He stared at you, unblinking, when Steve cleared his throat overenthusiastically, switching both your and Bucky’s attention to him.
“Look kids, as much fun as this is, it’s a little too early in the morning to hear about your bedroom relations.”
At Steve’s words, Bucky saw his opportunity and his eyes lit up as he chuckled. “Steve, would you prefer we leave so we can get back to our bedroom relations?”
The silence that followed was deafening and hysterical and your giggles began to bubble up over your straight face. Bucky followed and soon you were both laughing so hard you didn’t even notice when Steve mumbled a ‘bye’ and left the room.
You felt bad, but lately, Steve had been so sensitive to any talk of sex in any form by anyone. More so than usual, that is.
“Did we cross a line, Buck?”
“No. Our boy will be fine. He’s just nervous about this ‘Sharon’ thing.
“I could talk to her…”
Bucky turned his head to you before stuffing a bite of eggs past his lips. “Give him a week. If he doesn’t make a move, then yea, maybe you should give her a call.”
“You don’t think it would make him mad?”
Bucky just shrugged his shoulders like a little boy after being asked if he was the one who drew on the wall with crayons. For some reason, he felt guilty for Steve not having someone yet. To Bucky, it just seemed like there was a lot of Steve’s time spent looking for him and not finding someone to share a life with like he had when he found you. “I just want him to be happy.”
“I know, baby.” You smiled and reached up a hand to run your fingers through his silky hair. You wanted Steve to be happy, too. He was the one to convince you that Bucky wasn’t such a bad guy and that he deserved a chance almost 2 years ago. Steve deserved to be with someone just as much as anyone else and you knew Sharon was the woman he would choose, if he only had the nerve to set aside all worry and just go for it.
Getting the two of them together would be your new mission, since you hadn’t been on one in four months. Not that you didn’t enjoy the peace, but it was like telling an artist not to paint, or a chef not to cook. Missions were your job and you were trained to factor them into your life, so now that they were not, you felt a little out of place. Honestly, you needed to find some way to occupy your time, especially considering your husband would never let you on another mission again once he found out your little secret. And give it another month or two, there would be no keeping it from him even if you wanted to.

hi! can i request hcs for mark tuan as a dad/with a pregnant s/o? i saw ur post about jb and i loved that, so i was wondering if u could do that for mark too 💕
Masterpost | Rules | WIPs
Of course I can I love Mark so much ;-; Wow these posts do make me softWarning : strong language (like in all my posts lmao)
Tumblr media
Mark Yien Tuan (GOT7)
That moment when you lowkey stalk an idol’s dad on Twitter to get an idea of how they’d be as a dad
Ok so I feel like Mark is always super responsible when it comes to sex (wrap it before you tap it kids !)
So if you get pregnant it’s most likely because you planned on having one
So really when you missed your period, you weren’t very surprised, in fact you were really excited
You wanted it to be a surprise so you didn’t tell him about it and bought a pregnancy test on your way back from picking up the groceries
But he knew something was going on because you were suddenly so ??? Weirdly happy and giggly ????? He knew you were planning something
Which you were
So Mark had to leave for promotions for about two weeks and you thought this would be the perfect time to do the pregnancy test without looking suspicious
And surprise surprise (not really), it’s positive !!!!!!!!
You have to refrain yourself from texting all your friends and family about it because you want Mark to be the first to know
And the day before he comes back you let him know you have a little surprise for him at home
Needless to say Mark is super excited and lowkey thinking it has something to do with stuff you do in the bedroom
So he’s a little confused when he comes home and you’re in your pajamas reading a book on the couch in the living room
And he doesn’t even notice the huge banner on top of the couch that says “welcome home dad” for a good minute or two
But when he does it takes him about 20 seconds to register the information before he’s smiling and giggling like an idiot because he’s just ???? So happy ????? He can’t wait to start a family with you
He picks up your book and throws it somewhere behind him and pulls you into a warm bear hug and doesn’t let go for 30 minutes
The first person you tell after that is Mark’s dad
You both call him on Skype to tell him the good news and lowkey Raymond is almost tearing up and so are you
Being pregnant doesn’t change much to your relationship tbh
Aside from the fact that he compliments you 198165189164 times more and calls you sexy mama constantly
You could be taking out the trash and he’d find a way to make it look like you’re a model on the runway
Really though the fact that you’re pregnant with his child is somehow really appealing to him
But other than that, Mark is pretty chill with it
Being a dad doesn’t freak him out at all and he’s confident you’ll both do an amazing job
Parenting books ? Prenatal classes ? What are those ? Mark doesn’t know
He’s a “we’ll figure things out once we get there” kind of guy
He also respects your autonomy so he doesn’t feel the need to baby you and he lets you do your things on your own
But if you ask for help because you can’t do something then he’s there in 0.2 seconds
Lowkey wishes it’s a girl but is still very and if not even happier when you find out you’re expecting a boy
And he can’t help but go into stereotypical father-son territory where he already makes plans about teaching your son how to play sports
But then catches himself and says that he’ll also teach him about arts and music if that’s what your kid’s into
I feel like he doesn’t do anything fancy to tell the boys about your pregnancy
In fact they end up finding out on their own when you’re all hanging out and you turn down the drinks they offer
And they’re like ????? You never did that before
And it’s Jackson who just assumes you’re pregnant and yells it so everyone else hears
And lowkey they’re all mad because Mark never told them but he’s just like “the subject never came up”
Because to him it’s just a normal thing that you’re pregnant
A similar thing happens when it’s time to announce to the world that you’re expecting
Like you kinda lay low when the baby bump starts showing so you and Mark are rarely seen together in public anymore, if ever
The fans are concerned and continuously ask Mark on social media
So Mark eventually decides to post an update about you on Twitter, saying everything is fine and that you’re just being careful not to put the baby in dangerous situations
Let’s just say Twitter goes wild that day
But other than that, the pregnancy goes smoothly
He makes fun of your weird cravings all the time too
Anyways
As calm as he was during the pregnancy, when it’s time to give birth it’s a whole other story
You wake him up in the middle of the night to complain about really bad cramps
And they feel nothing like the ones you’ve been experiencing for the past 9 months, this shit’s the real deal
And he’s up and ready in 2 seconds, doesn’t even take the time to get dressed, and he’s already out the door with your hospital bag in hand
Ends up coming back to help you walk to the car but he’s freaking out
Speed limit ? Stop signs ? Red lights ? What are those ? You’re thankful it’s 2AM and no one’s on the road because Mark would’ve caused accidents with his reckless driving
When you arrive at the hospital, he’s still freaking out and nearly causing a scene, nearly shouting at random nurses for help
You end up being the one having to calm him down despite being in so much pain
Eventually someone comes in and brings you to an exam room to determine if labor as begun or if you’re just experiencing Braxton Hickscontractions
Turns out you’re not and the doctor can already feel the baby’s head trying to come out
You’re rushed into the delivery room and Mark has trouble keeping up with everything
Boy does he regret not reading those books Jaebum bought for you because he has no idea what’s happening
He tries his best to stay strong for you because you’re screaming and you’re very obviously in pain
He ends up being completely useless
When morning comes he starts getting phone calls from the other members because he’s missing practice and he loses his temper and just texts them “my son is being born shut the fuck up this is more important”
30 minutes later the whole group is in the hallway in front of your room waiting for it to be over
Mark ends up joining them and by joining them I mean you end up kicking him out of the room because as much as he tries hiding the fact that he’s freaking out, he can’t, and you can’t deal with this shit while you’re pushing out a 15 lbs baby out of your vagina
After what felt like an eternity, he finally hears your baby’s cries and it just sounds like music to his ears
He comes back into the room to see this tiny little thing in your arms and his heart stops beating
You’re sweaty and panting heavily and you look like you’ve been run over by a truck but you’ve never looked so beautiful to him than in this moment
He carefully walks up to you and kneels right next to you, resting his head on the bed and stares at his son in your arms while the boys not-so-sneakily take pictures from the door frame
Mark is lowkey scared to hold him when you ask if he wants to because he’s scared he’s going to break him
But once he holds your son into his arms he doesn’t want to let go
And he shamelessly shows him off to the other boys like “look at this beautiful little thing that I made, isn’t he the most handsome boy you’ve ever seen in your life”
He will forever deny it but he cried when the little boy reached out to touch his face
But the honeymoon cuts short after you bring him home
Not really but Mark is the parent who keeps track of whose turn it is to get up to take care of the baby when he starts crying in the middle of the night
Which is every two hours for the first 6 months, at least
And his job doesn’t allow him to take long breaks so he never really stop doing idol things after your son is born, but he makes sure he’s never away from home for too long at once
If he has to leave the country for a long time, he insists on bringing you both along with him
Wants your son to have a great relationship with his grandparents so once your son grows a bit older, he travels a lot to L.A. with him so he can spend some time with Papa and Mama Tuan
I can see Papa Tuan tweeting about his grandson a lot whenever he visits, never missing an opportunity to roast Mark by making it look like your son is already better than him at everything
The fans love it because it’s so cute
As a dad, I feel like Mark is really chill and he respects your son’s opinions, personality and most importantly his privacy
I feel like he’s also very open to talk about anything to him and always answers his questions no matter how many he’s asking
And he’s very honest with him
6-year-old son : “Dad, how are babies made ?”
Mark : “Babies happen when a man and a woman have unprotected sex”
6-year-old son : “What’s sex ?”
You, shouting from the other room : “Something you should only do with someone you love after you marry them !!!!!!”
Mark : *dies of laughter* “Funny you say that since we we weren’t married when—”
You : “Finish that sentence and I’ll make sure marriage never happens”
I also feel like Mark would try his best to make sure he never witnesses when you guys are fighting
And you both mutually agreed that if there’s something that needs to be talked about, it has to be done in private with the doors closed and no shouting
He also doesn’t hold back with the affection he gives you when your son is around so he can grow up knowing what a healthy relationship looks like
I feel like he’s all in for your son experiencing life on his own but he does have some boundaries that if your son happens to cross, things aren’t gonna be so pretty
But your son has so much respect for his dad that the idea of testing his limits never really crosses his mind
In his teenage years your son thinks Mark is embarrassing but literally all his friends think he’s really cool
Mark will forever stay young at heart so it’s easy for him to connect to his son’s friends
Overall Mark would be an amazing dad, and if he ever has problems I feel like he wouldn’t hesitate to ask his own dad for advice

I've always love korean dramas and have been watching them since 2009 but korean music has never caught my attention until recently. Here are some of my favorite korean songs that you might like. I recommend these songs because these are the first  kpop songs I've ever listened to and I think you might like it as much as I do. Aside from their music, I also love how they do their music videos. They put great effort on making new video concepts and it's just different. 
Anyway, I made a playlist of these songs on Spotify which you can follow. Also, feel free to send me (kpop) song recommendation that you think I'll like based on the playlist I made.
1. Wild and Young by Kang Seung Yoon
Tumblr media
Actually, this is the first korean song that I’ve liked and learned. I remember asking my sister (who’s a kpop fan for as long as I can remember) for a song that I can use for our Travel Diary in South Korea and she told me about this. She recommended a lot of kpop songs but I ended up using this because it is an upbeat song and I really like it. I played this for almost one month and memorized some of the lines. This is probably my favorite Kpop song of all time. 
2. Palette by IU
Tumblr media
Palette is my go-to kpop song. I love the tune and the lyrics! I swear, if you listen to it, you can’t help yourself but sing a long even if you don’t know the lyrics. I played this for 2 weeks straight, even in the shower. I also like the concept of the music video because it really shows who IU is. 
3. Man In Love by Infinite
Tumblr media
Infinite is my sister’s favorite kpop group and I didn’t know they were this good. I like their dramas but I just listened to their song recently. This is the first Infinite song I’ve ever listened and It's really nice. This is the song that I used in my (revised) Travel Diary in Korea. Take a few minutes to listen and you won’t regret.
4. Hide & Seek by ASTRO
Tumblr media
This one is from my (only) favorite kpop group, ASTRO. I’ve never imagined I’d stan a kpop group until I found ASTRO. I watched their webdrama “To Be Continued” and fell in love with them and their music. Their songs are playful, cool, young, and fresh and I really like it. I even watched their dance practices and one day, I may spend some time learning the dance steps of this song even if I really can’t dance (yes this is how much I like this song). I’m not being a bias here but I think all of their songs are a catch unlike any other group. (Stop throwing potatoes at me). Plus they are adorable and cute. 
5.Love Scenario by iKon
Tumblr media
I used to shade this song because I keep on insisting that the opening part (chorus) sounds like an international song, Timber. But after playing it for several times, I found myself singing it every single day. Lol, this one can leave you LSS and you won’t even complain because of how good this song is. If I’m going to stan another group, I think it might be iKon because damn, one of their members leave my breathless.
6. Can’t Help Myself by Eric Nam
Tumblr media
Eric Nam is one of my favorite solo artist. I found him because he covered “Beautiful” by Crush in English. And since then, I started listening to his songs. This song is one of my favorite from his records because it’s really catchy and the lyrics were written perfectly. I love how he sings and how he steals my heart everything he dances and smiles. Listen to this and you might fall in love with him. You can thank me later.
7. It’s You by Henry
Tumblr media
I found this song when I was watching “While You Were Sleeping” because it is one of their OST. I’ve listened to this for a while before I realized that it is a pure english song! Lmao, I must’ve been carried away by Henry’s beautiful voice that I didn’t notice it. I’ve always like his songs (he sang a lot of Kdrama OSTs) but this is my favorite so far. 
8. Pick Me by Wanna One
Tumblr media
I hear this song everywhere and I might say that this song is really addicting. I always find myself singing the words “Naya na, Naya na” to the point that it annoys people around me lmao. You guys, listen to this and the next thing you know, You are addicted the song HAHAHAH. My sister stans Wanna One and I hate to admit it but their song is really good and I like it lmao.
